I was amused by the line "Not everybody is convinced" by his arguments.Well, my guess is virtually no one is convinced.

I'll bet a big part of that, is that people aren't reading far enough to understand what his arguments are. As was said in the article (emphasis added):

Samuelsson wants to be very clear about what he is saying and what he is not saying. Most importantly, he says, he is not claiming Jesus was not crucified - only that the Gospels do not say he was. "I am a pastor, a conservative evangelical pastor, a Christian," he is at pains to point out. "I do believe that Jesus died the way we thought he died. He died on the cross."
But, he insists, it is tradition that tells Christians that, not the first four books of the New Testament. I still love that here we have an Evangelical scholar claiming that a major belief of the faith can only be supported by tradition, not Scripture alone. It's a start...

In Christ,
