Richard Carrier

I am presently working on articles that I intend to seek peer reviewed publication for, and perhaps eventually a book compiled therefrom. This means two things: I will not be producing any formal online work on the subject until my print work is completed in the proper scholarly venue; but I will be discussing my theories and ideas "in progress" to audiences in person to explore feedback and develop my methods of presentation. Two such events are now coming up:

Tuesday, May 30 - "Did Jesus Even Exist?" for Stanford RATT
