There are many different types of Jesus Mythicists with varying qualities of research in their works.
Reading a book by a Jesus Mythicist requires some special reading skills. Here are some questions to be asking when you are reading a Jesus Mythicist. This would work for both books and blogs.
What is their motivation? Do they seem to be sincere seekers of truth or are they trying to take a jab at Christianity?
What is their worldview? Are they arguing for a naturalistic universe? Are they pluralistic in their view of religions?
What is their educational background? You don’t need a PhD to have something to say (I don’t have a PhD). But their formal educational background is relevant.
How much are they relying on primary sources and how much is on secondary sources?
Is this representative of other conspiracy tendencies in other areas of their life?
Is there anything that you can learn from what they say? Is there any truth in their writing?
What questions would you ask when reading a Jesus Mythicist?
