Dr. Marshall critiques the radical views of Bart Ehrman, Richard Carrier, and Reza Aslan about Jesus. He also examines their proposed parallels to Jesus: Apollonius of Tyana, Greek novels, and the 18th Century Hasidic Rabbi, Baal Shem Tov. Furthermore, he provides 30 criteria of historicity for evaluating the historicity of the New Testament Gospels and these proposed parallels in order to provide a standard by which to judge the historicity of each and by which to compare how these proposed parallels actually stack up.
