About this episode

Stephen Bedard discusses the motivations behind co-writing 'Unmasking the Pagan Christ' and its impact on his approach to Christian apologetics.

A number of years ago, I co-wrote Unmasking the Pagan Christ with Dr. Stanley Porter. This was a response to a book written by Tom Harpur. In this video, I share why I wrote this book and how it informs how I do Christian apologetics.Please visit me at https://www.stephenjbedard.com and https://www.jesusmyththeory.com and consider supporting me at http://www.patreon.com/hopesreason Follow me at http://www.x.com/sjbedard and http://www.facebook.com/hopesreason and http://www.instagram.com/sjbedard Visit my online store at https://www.stephenjbedard.com/store/ Purchase Unmasking the Pagan Christ through this Amazon affiliate link: https://amzn.to/3Umjv7F
