In case Sergey shows up later, or for anyone else following the fall out over Ehrman’s latest book Did Jesus Exist?, the S/N ratio isn’t improving but there are some substantive (even in the negative sense) blog entries out there popping up.

First, lending a bit of credence to the accusation that Erhman is just helping religious people find comfort (and somehow thus he is just feathering his own nest for future book sales), is Ehrman showing up at the Home Brewed Christianity (a self declared “progressive” Christian blog, thus non-Fundamentalists), and to my ears sounds a bit disingenuous. There’s a whole interview at their blog entry:

Bart Ehrman on Jesus’ Existence, Apocalypticism & Holy Week

What I find objectionable about what Ehrman does in that interview (and some of his supporters do likewise) is not being upfront that he himself believes that a great share of the NT is “myth”, maybe as much as 90% of the stuff written about Jesus, but he doesn’t present himself as such to these liberal Christians.

Other entries around the net that might be worth checking out (though I am not at all vouching or endorsing some of the statements therein):

Vridar has a series going, e.g.:

5. Earl Doherty’s Response to Bart Ehrman’s Case Against Mythicism: A Roman Trio
and
Fight Club! Historical Jesus Scholars Take On the Christ Mythicists!

The latter is a take on Joseph Hoffman’s:
Mythtic Pizza and Cold-cocked Scholars

Ehrman (or his publisher) got himself interviewed for the widely disseminated Religion Dispatches:
Inventing Jesus: An Interview with Bart Ehrman

Finally, outside of academia, there is a spreading interest in the topic, for example from this former pastor (now someone in the process of de-conversion):
Contest for Commenters

There’s a lot more out there, like so much on the internet this kind of thing mutates and multiplies greatly.
