Candida Moss joined with Joel Baden to write an article in the
Daily Beast about Paulkovich's
No Meek Messiah book, but other writers have pointed out that their article has many errors: the claim that Paulkovich had no web presence, and no Twitter account, that he claimed to be a “Bible Scholar” and that there is no biographical information on him. It has been suggested that Moss and Baden never had Paulkovich's book in their possession; one writer asked, "Did anyone who wrote about
No Meek Messiah ever read it? I don’t think so. Or if they did they hid their guilt well from the public." and Paulkovich referred to the Asclepiades who lived during
Hadrian, late first century. Michael Sherlock, now executive director of
Atheist Alliance International also critiqued Paulkovich's work, writing that Paulkovich "made a fundamental mistake with regards to the alleged reference to Jesus in one of
Josephus’ works" but later admitted his error, and that he had never read Paulkovich's work; he published an apology stating "the error rests with the sloppy journalism of
Jonathan Vankin and not with the precise research of Michael Paulkovich." Paulkovich's subsequent book, ''Beyond the Crusades: Christianity's Lies, Laws and Legacy
is a complete re-write of No Meek Messiah'' with a new publisher, and foreword by New Testament scholar
Robert M. Price. The author has suggested that readers consider this version as it supersedes the earlier work. ==See also==
