I had never really thought to question the hypothesis that Jesus was a historical person, but his book weaves together a lot of evidence and is astoundingly good at explaining some very strange anomalies which the conventional Christian view either ignores or deals with only very awkwardly. For instance, Paul - the first evangelist, the devoted convert - never expresses any interest in visiting the places where Jesus supposedly walked on earth. Nor does he ever recount any story that clearly is drawn from the gospels. His Jesus is a maddeningly vague and shadowy character, never quite placed firmly on earth. In fact, Paul explicitly contradicts his teachings as recorded in the gospels on more than one occasion. Doherty’s book, in my opinion, is superb.

Another great book on the subject is "The Incredible Shrinking Son Of Man" by Robert Price Great book, I read it through after I read through “Dialog with a christian proselytizer” by Todd Allen.
