Quotes
edit- This view [that Jesus never existed] is demonstrably false. It is fuelled by a regrettable form of atheist prejudice, which holds all the main primary sources, and Christian people, in contempt. This is not merely worse than the American Jesus Seminar, it is no better than Christian fundamentalism. It simply has different prejudices. Most of its proponents are also extraordinarily incompetent.
- Maurice Casey, Jesus of Nazareth: An Independent Historian's Account of His Life and Teaching, New York: T&T Clark, 2010, p. 499
