Is Hurtado polemizing (still) against the ghost of Carrier?
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:42 am
My eye falls on this:
Why has Hurtado need of remembering that Jesus was a "real first-century Jewish male from Galilee, genuinely mortal" when he claimed again and again that "only" the Mythicists have that kind of doubts... ...and he isn't polemizing at all with the Mythicists in the immediate context of that article?
A true enigma.
He remembers Ignatius, really. Pathetic.

Granted, NT texts reflect the belief that the man Jesus was also the unique manifestation of the divine Logos, and the one in whom the “fullness of God” dwelt bodily (e.g., John 1:1-2; Colossians 1:15-20), and the one who “though in the form of God” became a “servant” (Philippians 2:6-11). But, the NT texts also insist just as firmly that Jesus of Nazareth was a real first-century Jewish male from Galilee, genuinely mortal. And this was demonstrated most obviously in his death. He really died.
