Summary: <br> <p>Richard Carrier is the world's foremost proponent of the "mythicist" view of Jesus - that he never actually existed as a historical person.</p><br> <p>He explains his theory that St. Paul only ever spoke of Jesus in the spiritual realm and that the Gospels are "extended parables".</p><br> <p>Mark Goodacre is NT professor at Duke University. He contends that Carrier's mythicist view is extrememly far fetched and the evidence for the historical Jesus is beyond reasonable doubt.</p><br> <p>For Richard Carrier <a href="http://www.richardcarrier.info/">http://www.richardcarrier.info/</a></p><br> <p>For Mark Goodacre <a href="http://podacre.blogspot.co.uk/">http://podacre.blogspot.co.uk/</a></p><br> <p>Watch the video promo for Unbelievable? the Conference 2012 DVD <a href="http://youtu.be/6g-5jTMeZew">http://youtu.be/6g-5jTMeZew</a> Order it at <a href="http://www.premier.org.uk/dvd">http://www.premier.org.uk/dvd</a></p><br> <p><br> <br>For more Christian/non-Christian debate visit <a href="http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable">http://www.premier.org.uk/unbelievable</a> or get the MP3 podcast <a href="http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx">http://ondemand.premier.org.uk/unbelievable/AudioFeed.aspx</a> or Via Itunes</p><br> <p>You may also enjoy:</p><br> <p><a href="http://www.premierradio.org.uk/listen/ondemand.aspx?mediaid=%7B7B0D9400-F8DF-494B-9C1F-3C5DE03E4E74%7D">Unbelievable? 18 August 2012 Did Jesus Exist?</a><span> Bart Ehrman Q&A</span></p><br> <p><span><a href="http://www.premierradio.org.uk/listen/ondemand.aspx?mediaid=%7B0AECB5BB-FCAE-432F-8224-960C4AD52A5C%7D">Unbelievable? 29 Aug 2009 - Richard Bauckham on the Gospels - pt 1</a> Jesus and the Eyewitnesses part 1 : Richard Bauckham and James Crossley.</span></p><br> <p>Join the conversation: <a href="http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable">http://www.premiercommunity.org.uk/group/unbelievable</a> and via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/unbelievablejb">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.twitter.com/unbelievablejb">Twitter</a></p>
