Did The Early Church Fathers Care About A Historical Jesus? ft. Dr. Richard Carrier

In this video, Dr. Richard Carrier surveys the evidence we have about the early church fathers and the historical Jesus. Essentially they didn't even try to investigate the historical veracity of Jesus. Papias doesn't relay any historical information about Jesus. He repeats hearsay as fact and never references anything other than scripture. Justin Martyr was not convinced because of the historical veracity of the faith. He only cared about the truth that Christianity was presenting and not whether it was true. The early church fathers didn't care if Jesus was a historical person.
