... Zeb, I essentially agree with what you're getting at, and as I pointed out Akenson is indeed insulting. My only point is that lampooning itself is neither...
... You probably didn't mean it this way, but it sounds as though you disagree with JS critics, including Wright, because of their emotions. That would be a...
Joe, Just to follow-up, it seems I would have benefited from reading further posts before zapping off my reply. I misunderstood what you said, and reacted on...
Apologies for cross posting! It's that time of year again when the Society of Biblical Literature's Annual Meeting is just round the corner (Nov. 20th-Nov....
... Just as a clarification, I am somewhat puzzled by your characterisation of Wright's response to the Jesus Seminar as "emotional". I wonder if you would be...
List-- Sidetracked as I was with Akenson, I forgot to mention William Herzog's "Jesus, Justice, and the Reign of God", in which there is useful critique of the...
... One of the interesting things for me, coming back to HJ scholarship about 5 years ago after some years focussed on other things, was discovering how many...
... You're not saying I'm emotional, are you? Seriously, though, I think I agree with your basic point here -- being emotional in and of itself need not ...
Bill, Funny you should ask. This morning I received in the mail the page proofs for _Apocalypticism, Anti-Semitism and the Historical Jesus: Sub-texts in ...

... James, Please read the whole thread where I clarified... Another lister cited argued that Wright was being emotional, not scholarly, in places. Sorry for...
List members -- I was chatting off-list with Bob Webb who suggested I post my recent review of his book about Gibson's passion film to the list (which appears...
... Just a question- does anyone actually believe that there is such a thing as "scholarly detachment"? If so, could someone kindly explain how its possible...
... "Scholarly detachment"? Yes. *Pure* "scholarly detachment? No, but as far as methodology goes, that's beside the point. The unattainability of a purely...
... Bultmann (hardly a "post-modernist") believed that any object of interest is firstly an object of *interest* - something that the investigator is...
Loren, Thanks for a most interesting and helpful review. One of the points we made in the Introduction is that we invited a broad spectrum of scholars partly ...
Hi Bob, I wonder if not explaining everything was actually a clever move ‹ I am impressed that you even attempted to profile the average viewer, and for a ...

Zeb, Not to make a big issue of it, but I'm not sure it's quite accurate to say it was released as a "blockbuster" ‹ my recollection was that no one wanted ...
