Excellent book
Reversatire
Very well researched, this book presents some compelling arguments that show how little we really can prove regarding the existence of historical Jesus.
Uneven Summary of the Mythicist Position
Scott Knickelbine
Mangasarian manages to get in the most pertinent arguments against the historicity of Jesus, but this work has not aged well. Especially offensive is his prolonged defense of Paganism as a more appropriate religion for the West, as opposed to the "Asiatic" attitudes revealed in Christianity. How Mangasarian can laud the intellectual achievements of classical Greece while overlooking the fact that the New Testament is a work of Hellenism is beyond me, but the argument is racist to it's core.
Well Well

This argument seems entirely driven by racist attitudes towards the Eastern part of the world.
