I've posted a fairly comprehensive review of Richard Carrier's book "On the Historicity of Jesus" here:

Any comments welcomed!
Also, I'm looking for positive reviews of Carrier's "Proving History", where he describes using Bayes's Theory for questions of history. But the reviews should be by mathematicians, or at least someone with experience in using it. I've added some negative reviews into my OHJ review, since there appears to be issues around using BT for history. But I'd like to balance that by adding positive reviews. In fact, any positive review around using BT for questions of history, related to Carrier's work or not, would be good.
I know very little about BT, but I think it would be great if we could use it for history!
