A collection of essays dealing with the book written by Bart Ehrman, Did Jesus Exist? The authors come from a variety of backgrounds, and as with any collection, some of the essays are better written than others. With the exception of the smug logorrhea of Richard Carrier, they were all highly readable and erudite. I think it helps that a lot of the essays were written by Frank Zindler, and he knows how to write, and to edit his writing. He has the proper mix of serious and lighthearted, and with his scientific mind, he cuts through illogic like butter. A highly worthwhile read, but not a short one. If you only have one night to write your essay, and this is your book of choice, I recommend you stick with the Zindler essays; you can get enough material there. ( )

THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED to that Child of the Enlightenment and Founding Father Thomas Paine who wrote in The Age of Reason, Part Three:
Repeated forgeries and falsifications create a well-founded suspicion that all the cases spoken of concerning the person called Jesus Christ are made cases, on purpose to lug in, and that very clumsily, some broken sentences from the Old Testament, and apply them as prophecies of those cases; and that so far from his being the son of God, he did not even exist as a man -- that he is merely an imaginary or allegorical character, as Apollo, Hercules, Jupiter and all the deities of antiquity were. There is no history written at the tie Jesus Christ is said to have lived that speaks of the existence of such a person, even as a man.

The struggle engaged here is not just another scholarly quarrel. (Foreword)
Bart Ehrman's Did Jesus Exist? : the Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth may very well prove to be the last book written by an undisputedly first-rank scholar of the New Testament attempting to prove the existence of a Jesus specifically of Nazareth. (Preface)
This collection of essays addresses Bart Ehrman's book Did Jesus Exist? (Introduction, "Surprised by Myth Overkill")

Albert Schweitzer in his From Reimarus to Wrede: a History of Research on the Life of Jesus [1906] was already discovering that every scholar claiming to have uncovered the 'real' Jesus seemed to have found a mirror instead; investigators found Jesus to be a placeholder for whatever values they themselves held dear. (Chapter 7, "Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up?: Is the 'Jesus of History' any more real that the 'Jesus of Faith'" by David Fitzgerald)
Luke doesn't tell us how Jesus passed through the midst of the lynch-mob, but early Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox traditions have it that Jesus jumped into the air to evade the mob. So, since escaping the mob and arriving in Capernaum are events recorded in the same Lukan sentence, we must suppose (unless, of course, this is a seam indicating the process point where someone has tampered with our text!) that Jesus did indeed (1)launch into the air from the top edge of Nazareth Hill, (2) shoot like an artillery shell for 25 miles, and (3)land without cratering the Capernaum synagogue. (Chapter 17, "Bart Ehrman and the Body of Jesus of Nazareth" by Frank R. Zindler)
What test could we do to learn if any claim regarding any one of the unknown millions of the past is true or false if he evaded the notice of all the writers of the time and left no physical remains that could yield clues to his identity? Could Jesus of Nowherespecific be detected if we had a time machine" How could we recognize him if none of the gospels' identifying features were left for which to search and we couldn't know for sure that we had parked the Tardis at the right place and time? (Chapter 19, "Bart Ehrman and the Cheshire Cat of Nazareth" by Frank R. Zindler)
Like Alice in Wonderland, the reader of this essay has just witnessed the progressive dismantling and dissolution of a fascinating creation of the human mind. Like the Cheshire Cat, who could not be beheaded because he had already lost his body, Jesus of Nazareth could not be 'beheaded' by the loss of his Nazareth identity. New Testament critics including Bart Ehrman had already hacked away most of his body by the time that empty excavations at Nazareth had erased 'the testimony of the empty tomb' at Jerusalem. (Chapter 19, "Bart Ehrman and the Cheshire Cat of Nazareth" by Frank R. Zindler)
