    17 - Was the Birth of Jesus Based on Pagan Myths?

    Did the Gospel writers borrow from the pagan myths to come up with their birth narratives? Some Jesus Mythicists would say so. Everything from the virgin birth to the wise men to December 25 was apparently taken from pre-existing myths. Or were they. In this episode, I share my doubts. Visit me a The Jesus Myth Theory.

    16 - What Do Scholars Mean When They Say the Gospels Are Anonymous?

    Many biblical scholars claim that the Gospels are anonymous. What does that mean? Is this a problem for Christians or for defending the idea of the historical Jesus? Support me through Patreon. Visit my History of Christianity Podcast. Visit my website.

    15 - What Did the Earliest Christians Believe About Jesus?

    When we discuss the Jesus Myth Theory, the idea that Jesus was not a historical figure but is a fictional character based on pagan god-men and heroes, there is one question that rises above the others. Did the earliest Christians believe that Jesus was a historical figure or that he was a myth? How Bad Was Constantine the Great?

    14 - Jesus and Mithras

    Was Jesus based on the Roman deity, Mithras? Mithraism, although a contemporary religion of Christianity, was based on the earlier Zoroastrian Mithra and the even earlier Hindu Mitra. In none of these incarnations do we find a reason to suspect that Jesus was based on this popular god. Please support this podcast through Patreon. Visit my website Jesus Myth Theory.

    13 - Why I Refuse to Debate Jesus Mythicists

    I am happy to present the evidence for the historical Jesus but I refuse to debate Jesus Mythicists? Is it because that I am afraid that I will encounter evidence that Jesus never existed? In this episode, I reveal why I am never planning on debating a Jesus Mythicist. Support this podcast through Patreon. Visit my website.

    12 - Was Dionysus Born of a Virgin?

    One of the supposed parallels to Jesus is the Greek god Dionysus. It is suggested by some Mythicists that the wine god was born of a virgin just like Jesus. Is this true? We look at this question this episode. Support this podcast through Patreon. Visit me at the Jesus Myth Theory.

    10 - How Many Sources Do We Have For the Life of Jesus?

    When we try to look at the historical Jesus, how many sources are we working with? Is it four sources or one source repeated four times? Or is it something else? That is what we look at in this episode. Visit me at http://www.jesusmyththeory.com. You can support this podcast through Patreon or by download a FREE audiobook with a FREE trial of Audible.
