Dr. Richard Carrier is an expert in the history of the ancient
world and a critic of Christian attempts to distort history in
defense of their faith. Not the Impossible Faith is a tour de force
in that genre, dissecting and refuting the oft-repeated claim that
Christianity could not have succeeded in the ancient world unless
it was true. Though framed as a detailed rebuttal to Christian
apologist J.P. Holding (author of The Impossible Faith), Carrier
takes a general approach that educates the reader on the history
and sociology of the ancient world, answering many questions like:
How did Christians approach evidence? Was there a widespread
prejudice against the testimony of women? Was resurrection such a
radical idea? Who would worship a crucified criminal? And much
more. Written with occasional humor and an easy style, and
thoroughly referenced, with many entertaining "gotcha!" moments,
Not the Impossible Faith is a must-read for anyone interested in
the origins of Christianity.
