The question of the OP asks if anyone here has read the book; The Jesus Puzzle, subtitled; did Christianity begin with a mythical Christ?Stein wrote:Good description here of what typifies conspiracy theorists like the mythers --
"[P]artisan bloggers .... reinforce their mutual preconceptions by echoing them back and forth, referencing each other, accepting only what evidence confirms their beliefs and ignoring the rest (when they reference evidence at all.) This is the modus oper[a]ndi of dogmatists, and it can become a prison which is difficult [to] escape"

Have you read it? I ask because I want to know your opinion of the book itself and what specifically in the book makes you dismiss it.
