Did Jesus Ever Live? Debunking by well-known Rationalist Joseph McCabe. Oddly and irrationally, after showing the story to be preposterous, McCabe eventually reveals himself to be an evemerist, i.e., someone who finds a "human" core somewhere under the numerous pagan mythological layers. His dating of the canonical texts is also off but represents the typical academic perspective.

The Rationalists Manual by MD Aletheia. Loads more on the Pagan origins of Christ and Christianity.

Did Jesus Exist--The Probing Mind by Frank Zindler. Well-written overview of the arguments against a "historical Jesus." Regarding the spurious passage in Josephus, Zindler says: "As late as 891, Photius in his Bibliotheca explicitly states that Josephus makes no mention at all of Jesus' miracles and acts - indicating that the disputed passage was absent from his copy of Antiquities of the Jews. The question can probably be laid to rest by noting that as late as the sixteenth century, according to Rylands, a scholar named Vossius had a manuscript of Josephus from which the passage was wanting."

Christianity is a Meme "On a more personal level, religious conversion is known to alter the chemistry of the brain in many people. The high of the born-again Christian is a state of euphoria with addictive qualities. The Christianity Meme need only provide religious explanation for the high, like 'the love of God,' to create a strong infection."

THE TWELVE: FURTHER FICTIONS FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT by Frank Zindler. Outlines other fictional characters in the New Testament, including the 12 disciples: "Among the many imaginary characters of the New Testament, perhaps the most blatantly obvious fictions are the Twelve Disciples. Of course, if Jesus was a sun-god (and who else is born on the winter solstice and worshiped on Sunday?), he would have needed twelve zodiacal accomplices, one for every month of the year, or one for every sign of the zodiac through which the sun's chariot journeys."

Pagan Origins of the Christ Myth by John Jackson. Another thorough researcher.

The Christ by John Remsburg: "If Christ was not originally a solar god he wears today the livery of one. His mother, the Virgin, was the mother of the solar gods; his birthday, Christmas, is the birthday of all the gods of the sun; his Twelve Apostles correspond to the twelve signs of the Zodiac; according to the Gospels, at his crucifixion the sun was eclipsed, he expired toward sunset, and rose again with the sun; the day appointed for his worship, the Lord's day, is the dies solis, Sunday, of the sun worshipers; while the principal feasts observed in memory of him were once observed in honor of their goals. 'Every detail of the Sun myth,' says the noted astronomer, Richard A. Proctor, 'is worked into the record of the Galilean teacher.'"

The Christ Remsburg expertly tackles the alleged nonbiblical evidence of Jesus's existence, such as the spurious Josephus passage, etc.
