Video Description (from Youtube)
In his debate with William Lane Craig, Richard Carrier lays out some clear examples of New Testament authors creating symbolic fiction about Jesus based on older traditions. Carrier's full argument against the resurrection can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf113iNh-64a8_1bdkrX7kHqPa88_hjfR&feature=mh_lolz
The full Carrier/Craig debate can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akd6qzFYzX8
For many examples of symbolic fiction being created in the New Testament, I highly recommend the book "Gospel Fictions" by Randel Helms. You can get a cheap used copy here:
