Oh, don't worry, the defenders of the faith will come up with clever reasons to dismiss this book. I can already think of one excuse: the peer reviewers Carrier recommended were liberals or radicals who were already sympathetic to the Christ Myth theory.
We can also expect to hear that old chestnut "these arguments were refuted long ago."
Most likely, they'll just pretend it doesn't exist.
