Why do historians think Jesus was real? || ”Jesus: Mything in Action” Lit Review

The start of our book review of David Fitzgerald's book "Jesus: Mything in Action", which follows in the footsteps of Richard Carrier and others to argue that Jesus was never more than a myth. We start at the beginning of the book to answer David's first question: Why aren't more historians mythicists?
