James McGrath, Did Jesus Exist?

A while ago, I provided a link to a radio debate between NT scholar Mark Goodacre and Christ mythicist Richard Carrier (link). I just came across the following short video by James F. McGrath, "Did Jesus Exist?" which emphasises some problems with the Christ myth theory and some cautions that, sadly, a lot of supporters of this nonsense theory do not heed (fortunately, it still remains, for the most part, an Internet phenomenon):



As an aside, McGrath has written two very important and interesting volumes on monotheism and Christology which I highly recommend:

The Only True God: Early Christian Monotheism in its Jewish Context

John's Apologetic Christology: Legitimation and Development in Johannine Christology
