  3. 📚#RichardCarrier has just announced a new book: The Obsolete Paradigm of a Historical Jesus (2025).

    As a scholarly sequel to On the #Historicity of #Jesus (2014), it argues the assumption of a historical Jesus is obsolete. Carrier applies #Bayes to case studies (Two Swords, Rom 1:3, Gal 4:4), re-evaluates #Docetism & revises Rank-Raglan odds (≈25% historicity). Looking forward to reading it (will be available end of Nov 2025).

The prominence of #letters in recent #fiction is due in part to the rediscovery, by contemporary #writers, of letters as an effective tool for rendering aspects of #historicity, #liminality, #marginalization and the expression of #subjectivity vis-à-vis an 'other'; it is also due, however, to the artistically challenging inclusion of the new electronic #media of #communication into fiction."
