Dale Allison on the Existence of Jesus

I still often come across people who deny the existence of Jesus. They suggest that believing in a real Jesus is just evangelical wishful thinking. I came across this interview with Dale Allison. Allison is no Evangelical, he would definitely be on the liberal side. In fact there are a number of things that Allison says that I disagree with. But it is interesting see from a non-evangelical source the folly of dismissing the historical Jesus.
