Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All

Why would anyone think Jesus never existed? Isnâ‚¬t it perfectly reasonable to accept that he was a real first century figure? As it turns out, no. NAILED sheds light on ten beloved Christian myths, and with evidence gathered from historians all across the theological spectrum, shows how they point to a Jesus Christ created solely through allegorical alchemy of hope and imagination; a messiah transformed from a purely literary, theological construct into the familiar figure of Jesus â‚¬â€œ in short, a purely mythic Christ.

Praise for David Fitzgeraldâ‚¬s
Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All

â‚¬Å“Fitzgeraldâ‚¬s is possibly the best â‚¬Ëœcapsule summaryâ‚¬ of the mythicist case Iâ‚¬ve ever encountered â‚¬Â¦with an interesting and accessible approach.â‚¬Â
â‚¬"Earl Doherty, author of The Jesus Puzzle

â‚¬Å“Fitzgerald summarizes a great number of key arguments concisely and with new power and original spin. I really learned something from him. Recalls classical skeptics and biblical critics. A surprising amount of new material.â‚¬Â
â‚¬"Robert M. Price, author of Deconstructing Jesus and The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man

â‚¬Å“David Fitzgerald reveals himself to be the brightest new star in the firmament of scholars who deny historical reality to â‚¬Å“Jesus of Nazareth.â‚¬Â His brilliance would have been sufficiently established had he done nothing more than illustrate and explain traditional arguments with a clarity and transparency never achievedâ‚¬Â¦But he has done more. He has developed new arguments and insights as well...â‚¬Â
â‚¬"Frank R. Zindler, editor of American Atheist Press and author of The Jesus the Jews Never Knew

â‚¬Å“Fitzgerald has hit the nail on the headâ‚¬Â¦A nice, readable introduction to the top ten problems typically swept under the rug by anyone insisting it's crazy even to suspect Jesus might not have existed.â‚¬Â
â‚¬"Richard C. Carrier, Ph.D., author of Not the Impossible Faith: Why Christianity Didnâ‚¬t Need a Miracle to Succeed and the forthcoming book On the Historicity of Jesus Christ
