This post continues my 10-part interview with Ben Witherington dealing with “mythicists,” those who claim that there never actually *was* a man Jesus, but that he is a complete fabrication, a myth. In Did Jesus Exist, I try to show why that is simply not true. But if he did exist, and the Gospels say things about him that probably didn’t happen, how do you separate the fact from the fiction? Here Ben asks me questions related to that idea, and I give some responses. Read by Petra Ortiz
