Why is Richard Carrier So Much Trouble For Christians?

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges Christians face regarding the writings of Richard Carrier, a prominent Jesus Mythicist.

I hear from many Christians who are struggling in their faith because of the writings of Richard Carrier. Carrier is a prominent Jesus Mythicist who comes across as extremely confident that Jesus never existed. This video is not a response to Carrier's arguments but a reflection on why people are so troubled by Richard Carrier.You can get a copy of Unmasking the Pagan Christ at https://amzn.to/42CmRJ6 (Amazon affiliate link)Please visit me at http://www.jesusmyththeory.com and https://www.stephenjbedard.com/apologetics 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/
