46 The Historicity of Jesus

One of my favorite conversations with a Facebook atheist was over the historicity of Jesus. I was stunned when a critic responded to me that "Jesus and his disciples ... never existed." Even as an atheist it never occurred to me to deny that Jesus was an historical person. I questioned the mythology that I felt had grown about him, the supernatural stuff, but his historical existence seemed to me to be beyond serious question. My astonishment at the claim is evident in my responses. I hope that you find this exchange valuable.

BTW ... this particular critic was a decent guy. We ended on good terms, and I actually liked him as a human being. I haven't had any recent contact, but I wish him well, and he is in my prayers when God brings him to mind.
