With the spread of the Internet, the old theological controversy that was raging<br />

100 years ago has percolated down to the public forum and known a<br />

recrudescence,[25] with a "massive upsurge" of the non-existence thesis.[26]<br />

Both academic and independent scholars have ridden the new boom with<br />

publications all aimed at discussing the Christ Myth thesis and its aftermath,<br />

including major works by Robert M. Price (<strong>Aug</strong>ust 2011), Bart D. Ehrman<br />

(March <strong>2012</strong>), Richard Carrier (April <strong>2012</strong>), Thomas L. Thompson and Thomas<br />

Verenna (July <strong>2012</strong>), and Maurice Casey (<strong>Aug</strong>ust <strong>2012</strong>).[27]<br />

R. Joseph Hoffmann, the arch-critic of <strong>Arthur</strong> <strong>Drews</strong>'s Christ Myth<br />

The Jesus Process<br />

R. Joseph Hoffmann is a reputed historian of Early Christianity. Educated by<br />

Catholic nuns, he has remained a sentimental defender of the Church and a<br />

vocal advocate of Jesus Historicity, and at the same time a standard-bearer in<br />

the forefront of the campaign against <strong>Arthur</strong> <strong>Drews</strong>'s Non-Historicity thesis. His<br />

contributions have been in books, conferences, and committees. He<br />

participated in the Jesus Seminar and the aborted Jesus Project. Like all other<br />

well-known scholars, Hoffmann also runs an Internet blog, the New Oxonian.<br />

Hoffmann is well-known for his witty, highly erudite and often acerbic style, and<br />

his penchant for complicated and extreme declarations.
