Is there a summary anywhere? I just remembered one of Hanson's better papers:
Think I'll email a pointer to Carrier, it seems very appropriate for one of his footnotes in chapter 4:
(Philpapers, as it happens, links it to a paper by Cavin, "Is There Sufficient Historical Evidence to Establish the Resurrection of Jesus?".)
That Cavin paper is hilarious.
