John Dominic Crossan in debate with Licona affirmed the use of criteria — demonstrating that most historians still rely on them

In Licona's October debate with John Dominic Crossan (available on Licona's YouTube channel), after Licona's 20-minute opening statement mentioned the debate over criteria of authenticity, Crossan responded: "I agree with Mike entirely — you've got to use criteria." This from a scholar who is not a traditional Christian.
