Advice to those influenced by Richard Carrier: read other skeptical scholars — Ehrman, Lüdemann, Casey — who have proper training in historical Jesus scholarship

Licona advises those persuaded by Carrier to read other skeptics with proper credentials in historical Jesus scholarship: Bart Ehrman, Garrett Lüdemann, Maurice Casey. He notes that classicists like Carrier can make egregious errors in biblical literature just as New Testament scholars would err in classics without proper training. Carrier makes mistakes because classical studies and historical Jesus scholarship are distinct disciplines.
