Did Jesus Really Exist? This Book Series Says He’s “Mything in Action”
March 24, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Several years ago, atheist author David Fitzgerald wrote a book called Nailed: Ten Christian Myths That Show Jesus Never Existed At All. It was an overview of some of the strongest arguments he knew that disproved the Christian narrative, but there were a lot of questions left unanswered. Why did so many biblical scholars (including non-religious ones) insist Jesus existed? Were the “Jesus myth” arguments all equally viable? What evidence was actually out there to support the idea that a real singular Jesus ever existed?

So Fitzgerald began working on a follow-up book. But several years later, that research, even when edited, clocked in at more than 900 pages. So he split it up into three volumes and called it Jesus: Mything in Action. (As he says in the books, “I just gave birth to triplets.”)

All three books are now available online. As I’ve said about his work before, this is not written like a dull academic paper. It’s easy to understand, even if you’re new to the subject, and it’s an important debate that doesn’t get nearly as much attention as it should.
