Re: Historical Jesus scholarship
Hi Eric, Bart Ehrman has written a number of very good books . He copped a lot of criticism for Did Jesus Exist? , some because he did not seem to appropriate use or address historical methodology and because he made a number of bare assertions.

But they still have to make good arguments - sound deductive arguments or cogent inductive arguments. That is where...

dewitness VS Earl Doherty (was: Historicity of Jesus...)
