No, but I came across the central idea and explored the central thesis and supporting presuppositions. I think he had a website. I found it rather weak.

To begin with the evidence for the existence of Jesus of Nazareth is very significant - whatever you make of his claims. This is symptomatic of Harpur's lack of academic rigour in his rush to support his theory. There were all kinds of leaps of logic in terms of cross-influences that didn't fit with what we know.

That's my recollection of it.
