I’ll take a look at it. May I suggest “Did Jesus Exist?” by Bart Ehrdman.

Thanks - I've heard of the book and I know the author is an NT scholar - but anybody with a background in history knows Jesus existed. He is mentioned in Tacitus as well as Josephus, never mind Acts and the NT. In fact, his historical existence is better documented than most Roman emperors . . . .

I see that the usual Jesus Project crowd are now claiming that Josephus has interpolations (which is the same thing they claim wrt any supernatural event in the New Testament). But they're going to have a hard time getting around Tacitus . . . .
