$\"\"$ <\/a> $\"\"$ If you are disappointed that I have not blogged about mythicism today, here\u2019s something that may make up for it: Tim O\u2019Neill has posted a review of David Fitzgerald\u2019s book Nailed<\/em><\/a>. And since he says that mythicists needn\u2019t try again to debate him on the subject, if anyone wishes to comment on the review here, they are free to do so. <\/p>\n

I should specify, lest anyone assume otherwise, that I share it not because I agree with Tim on every single point, but because on the whole it seems fair and accurate, full of important points and useful relevant information. And it is absolutely worth reading and discussing if you are interested in mythicism \u2013 which presumably you are if you read this far!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
