A debate on the question "Jesus: Man, Myth or Messiah?" was sponsored by the Apologetics Research Society (ARS) as part of the International Christian Evidences Conference. Houston Baptist University was the venue for this cordial but spirited debate.
.
Douglas Jacoby argued in the affirmative. The Historical Jesus and the Christ of Faith are one and the same. Self-styled "Christian atheist" Robert Price claimed that the New Testament picture of Jesus is legendary, paralleled by myths in other ancient religions.

An irony of the debate is that Douglas Jacoby received his Masters in Theological Studies in New Testament from (liberal) Harvard Divinity School, while Robert Price received his Masters in Theological Studies in New Testament from (conservative) Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. Both speakers have doctorates from Drew University.

You will find the exchange both engaging and enlightening. It will build your faith in the reliability of the Bible and in Jesus Christ.
