Academic historians; I've been asked to put out a call for papers over listservs, which I never used in grad school or since I started teaching. Every one I try to subscribe to, my email returns an error message. Are they still active and I'm making a technical error, or are listservs obsolete or inactive?

I usually bring this up when answering questions, but I'll put it as a question myself. Atheists on the board often claim that Jesus Christ never even existed. How does one account for the beginnings of the Christian movement with the premise that Jesus Christ did not exist? I'd like to see answers as detailed as possible in this forum, explaining how one justifies one's position from the existing source evidence.
