Richard Carrier and Dennis MacDonald joins MythVision to tackle one of the biggest questions in the historical Jesus debate: what did Paul actually know about Jesus?
The discussion examines Robert Eisenman’s arguments about James the Just, the origins of the early Jesus movement, and the alleged conflict between James and Paul. Carrier challenges Eisenman’s use of later and apocryphal sources, arguing that the evidence for a competing James-led movement is far weaker than it appears.
The conversation then turns to one of the most controversial arguments for mythicism: Paul’s silence about the historical life of Jesus. If Paul knew that Jesus had recently lived, taught, gathered disciples, and performed important actions, why does Paul seemingly never have to respond to arguments based on those events?
The discussion also explores the Eucharist, including the interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11, the relationship between Paul and the Gospel traditions, and possible parallels between the Christian Eucharist, Dionysian traditions, and other ancient ritual meals.
What do you think: Does Paul’s silence seriously challenge the existence of a historical Jesus, or can the silence be explained another way?
