基督神話論

基督神話論,或耶穌神話論是認為有關耶穌的故事沒有歷史事實為依據的神話作品,[1]或者按巴特·葉爾曼的說法指的是認為歷史上耶穌不存在的觀點,又或者是即使耶穌曾經存在,也與建立基督教無關。[q 1]不過,主流學術觀點生活在公元1世紀猶大地區的耶穌在歷史上確有其人,而且他很可能接受過施洗並被釘在了十字架上。[2]除此之外,史學界並沒有關於福音書中其他故事在歷史上是否真實發生的共識。

This is widely recognized, to their chagrin, by mythicists themselves."

[Earl Doherty (2009), Jesus: Neither God nor Man: The Case for a mythical Jesus (Ottawa, ON: Age of Reason Publications), vii–viii.] In simpler terms, the historical Jesus did not exist. Or if he did, he had virtually nothing to do with the founding of Christianity."
