Did Jesus Exist?: The Historical Argument for Jesus of Nazareth by Bart D. Ehrman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Not particularly convincing. R. Carrier, despite his many other failings, makes good points on this matter. I’m going to stick with agnosticism about whether there was an actual person called Jesus who inspired all the (mostly fictional) stories in the bible. If there really was one his story has been diluted and polluted beyond my ability to find the grain of truth in it if there ever was one.

If you found this book interesting you might also want to watch the following two lectures on youtube:
