Solitary Man

I don't have Price - care to reduplicate the arguments, assuming you even understand them?

No, I don't care to. You've chosen to involve yourself in a discussion in which you are both uninformed and unwilling to put forth effort to inform yourself. That's your problem.

If you were less caustic I'd be happy to comply.

Solitary Man

Aw, see, now you're angry, so you refuse to give any evidence. Good call. If only more scholars would follow your lead.

So, in other words, when asked to provide evidence, I now don't have to give any to you, for whatever reason I choose? Have you read Meier? Sanders? Frederikson? No? And you dare dive into the Historical Jesus, being woefully ignorant of modern scholarship on it? And yet you too have the gall to ask for evidence, and then hypocritically deny it when asked of you? Sounds like you're avoiding providing anything out of fear of a weak case. I never said I was unwilling, and I'm hardly uninformed. Have you read Dunn? Wright? Morris? Who besides Price have you read?

PS - Have you seen the dates for the scholars you've recommended?

F.C. Bauer (1792-1860); Paul-Louis Couchoud (1879-1959), the latter being a philosopher and a poet.

Come on, you can't do better than outdated scholarship, by authors you haven't even actually read except through a rehashing of it by fringe scholar Robert Price? Laughable.

I've made no claims in denial of a historical Jesus in this thread or any other.

I'll simply ignore the rest of your strawman.
