I think that you do not understand it at all. Please, prove me wrong!

Thanks for the link.
What are the rules about promoting a book? Is it allowed on iidb?

Someone who is able to write :andis clearly pointing to the fact that he understood nothing about the gospels, nor about the history of the Hebrew people. :huh:
If this is what is written in the book, well... :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: :rolling: :rolling:

@ John Deere alias JohnHud alias John Hudson alias Joe Atwill alias ...?

I don't believe Mr. Carotta has trouble spelling your name correctly, but even if this were the case, I know for sure that unlike you he does not deliberately misspell it all the time.

Much more interesting, however, is the question what Mr. Carotta, who discovered the historical Jesus, thinks of your book.
It would be enlightening if you told us about that!

Johann_Kaspar

Do you want to tell us that Mr. JD or any of his fake names did a plagiarism?

Spin:

We are in a loop. Is this the second or third time we have reached this position? The citations are in the article. And I have given them to you. I have repeatedly asked you to specify exactly what the error in the article is - I am not a mindreader - and you have responded by stating that I "tarted up" the analysis and cite Greg's article as though bringing it up was somehow a logical response to the question of how I "tarted up" the analysis. When I ask again how I have "tarted up" the analysis you revert to asking for the citations. But you already know my answer and I already know your response.

Juliana:

In blogdom it is impolite to cite trivial errors in spelling or grammar.

As far as Carrota's opinion of my work, while he and I do agree on some things, in general, we have - not simply different - but contradictory positions concerning the origins of Christianity. He does not agree with my thesis and I do not agree with his.

I am curious, have you actually read my work? You seem predisposed against it for some reason but you have not mentioned why.

Johana:

If I am promoting my work in a way that is inappropiate I apologize. Given that this thread is regarding the "Flavian hypothesis" I thought the work - which presents the hypothesis - was OK to discuss.

Juliana:

Another thought. While I do not agree with Carrota's thesis, this does not mean I do not like his work and see much of his analyis as correct. In fact I often recommend his work to people who ask me what scholars to read to learn more about Christian origins.

@ whoever it is who is trying to fool people here

No, Mr. Atwill I have not read your newest botch yet. I am still waiting for it to arrive through interlending. But I read your earlier sorry effort of a book "The Roman origin of Christiantiy" and I've read what is available about your new opus including all those incredible reviews at Amazon. Caveat emptor!

Needless to say what I think about your fabulations, I'll let you know in more detail later.

No way, you aren't discussing.

Obviously: "Did you read my book?" = Did you buy my book?

Still waiting answers...
