The quote comes from a blog post by Taylor M. Weaver, written as a reflection on the recent debate between Bart Ehrman and Robert Price. Click through to read the whole thing. On the one hand, I can’t agree that Taylor’s quote reflects all mythicists, since Robert Price is not “undereducated” – although as came up in the debate, he certainly doesn’t seem to have kept up with his field since he was a student, since his views on pre-Christian Gnosticism, which a century ago made mythicism seem slightly more plausible, are no longer tenable, at least in the form that he holds them. But the phenomenon of mythicism on the internet certainly fits this description on the whole. Would you agree?
