17 Did Jesus Exist? (Guest: Dr. Craig Evans)
About this episode
Did Jesus exist? Setting aside whether Jesus is the son of God and savior of the world for a moment, is there real evidence that he existed as a human in history?
The short answer is yes, say historians, but there is a small movement out there that claims Jesus was a myth. Dr. Craig Evans refers to these people as mythicists, and talks with Henry Smith about what they claim, and the evidence against it.
Earliest reference describes Christ as 'magician' - Magic Cup
