Richard Carrier
Richard Cevantis Carrier (born December 1, 1969) is an American ancient historian. He is a long-time contributor to skeptical websites, including
The Secular Web and Freethought Blogs. Carrier has published a number of books and articles on philosophy and religion in
classical antiquity, discussing the development of early Christianity from a
skeptical viewpoint, and concerning religion and morality in the modern world. He has publicly debated a number of scholars on the
historical basis of the Bible and Christianity. He is a prominent advocate of the
theory that Jesus did not exist, which he has argued in a number of his works. However, Carrier's methodology and conclusions in this field have proven controversial and unconvincing to most ancient historians, and he and his theories are often identified as
fringe.
