Deconstructing Jesus
DescriptionMoving beyond recent work on Jesus movements and Christ cults, Price links the approaches of F.C. Baur, Walter Bauer, Helmut Koester, and James M. Robinson with early Christ-myth theorists. He also incorporates neglected parallels from Islam, the Baha'i Faith, and Buddhism. The result is a refreshing cross-fertilization of perspectives.
The Reason Driven Life: What Am I Here on Earth For?
DescriptionPastor Rick Warren's "The Purpose-Driven Life" has been both a commercially successful best seller and a widely influential book in the Christian community. As a rejoinder to the fundamentalist assumptions of Warren's book, Robert Price, a biblical scholar, a member of the Jesus Seminar, and a former liberal Baptist pastor, offers this witty, thoughtful, and detailed critique. Following the concise forty-chapter structure of Warren's book, Price's point-counterpoint approach emphasizes the importance of reason in understanding life's realities as opposed to Warren's devotional perspective. Price, who was once a born-again Christian in his youth, is in a unique position to offer an appreciation of the wisdom that Warren shares while at the same time challenging many of his main points.In particular, Price takes issue with Warren's use of numerous scriptural quotations, demonstrating how many of them have little to do with the points Warren is trying to make. An important section of the book shows that the popular evangelical notion of 'a personal relationship with Jesus Christ' is utterly without any scriptural basis. Besides criticism, Price also provides many persuasive arguments for the use of reason as a tool for developing moral maturity and an intelligent, realistic perspective on life's highs and lows. Ultimately, the reason-driven life offers a healthier, alternative approach to wisdom and motivation, says Price, than the simplistic answers and feel-good emotionalism at the heart of Warren's prescription for life.
The Case Against The Case For Christ: A New Testament Scholar Refutes the Reverend Lee Strobel
DescriptionLeading New Testament scholar Robert M. Price has taken umbrage at the cavalier manner in which Rev. Lee Strobel has misrepresented the field of Bible scholarship in his book The Case for Christ. Price exposes and refutes Strobel's arguments chapter-by-chapter. In doing so he has occasion to wipe out the entire field of Christian apologetics as summarized by Strobel. This book is a must-read for anyone bewildered by the various books published by Rev. Strobel.Price Robert M News![]()
