Reviews

"It helps if you are omniscient, and Richard Carrier appears to be! The arguments and data supplied on behalf of Jesus Mythicism in his new book are astonishing--even if you thought you knew the debate pretty well!" —Robert M. Price, New Testament scholar and editor of the Journal of Higher Criticism

"Carrier’s best, most engaging, and readable work yet. Don’t let the hilarious title fool you; this book is all business. Putting all the historical evidence for Jesus in the crucible, he burns away every apologetic argument and cuts through centuries of special pleading and pious fraud to demonstrate that the ‘Real Jesus’ is an unreal one." —David Fitzgerald, author of Nailed and Jesus: Mything in Action
