Jesus, Criteria and the Demise of Authenticity, edited by Chris Keith and Anthony LeDonne, T&T Clark 2012, £19.99
“[Jesus, Criteria, and the Demise of Authenticity] make[s] a singular contribution by calling for a renewal of how biblical scholarship approaches the quest for the historical Jesus.” – Bible Today
“Required reading on the origins of the criteria of authenticity, their logical problems, ideological underpinnings, and theological implications”
Amy-Jill Levine, Vanderbilt University, USA

The Historical Jesus: A Guide for the Perplexed, by Helen K. Bond, T&T Clark 2012, £14.99
‘Written by an expert in the historical context of the emerging Christian
movement, this is a thoughtful, lucid and intelligent introduction to the
historical Jesus, ideal for the new student and the general reader.'
– ‘This is a gem! Bond manages to canvass an ocean of modern Jesus-scholarship in an impressively concise discussion, clearly and accessibly conveying the basics of each scholar and issue considered, and also crisply representing majority views of scholars on the key historical data and what we can make of them. It is, to my knowledge, the best general-reader-level introduction to the subject available.' - Larry W. Hurtado, University of Edinburgh, UK
Jesus: Evidence and Argument or Mythicist Myth, by
Maurice Casey, T&T Clark, Jan 2014, £19.99
“In his latest book, Maurice Casey brings his great
expertise in historical Jesus studies to bear on the phenomenon of mythicism,
the claim that Jesus of Nazareth never existed. Although mythicism is
universally rejected by professional historians, it is surprisingly popular on
the internet and in a small number of self-published books. Casey's book offers
both the scholarly detail needed to deal with the subject seriously, and the
sarcastic wit appropriate to the character of the phenomenon. The result is not
only informative but also entertaining. Casey's book provides a clear and
sufficiently detailed explanation of what mainstream scholarly conclusions are,
why and how they are reached, and why professions in the field all but
universally find the denialist alternative not merely unpersuasive, but failing
to even implement the appropriate methods of scholarly investigation and argument.” –
James F. McGrath, Butler University, USAhttp://bloomsbury.com/uk/jesus-evidence-and-argument-or-mythicist-myths-9780567447623/
My favorite "hair-band" ever since I've use of reason is Led Zeppelin, despite of they abandoned the world of the music as a group in 1980. Their soul survives along the times and, of course, through the (generally) dark music ages of 80's and 90's.
ReplyDeleteHi, Chris! Sounds like a fun contest! I'm already following your blog. I tweeted this post and shared it on Facebook. My favorite T&T Clark book is John Day's edited volume Prophecy and the Prophets in Ancient Israel. My favorite guilt pleasures hair band has got to be Mr. Big, and particularly their cover of Wild World.

ReplyDeleteI'm amazed how many books you guys give away through this blog. Amazing! Astounding!
ReplyDeleteOh! I did "officially" "join" (am now "following" this blog).
ReplyDeleteI've also shared this post, and several others, on my Facebook page.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book ever published by T&T Clark was Barth's CD II/2. I read it my second year in grad school in a course taught by one of Barth's former students - a guy named Shirley C. Guthrie. Amazing professor, and an amazing book.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite 80s-ish band was/is Van Halen. And, I really like(d) both Styx and Foreigner. Heck! I've tickets to see both those bands in May! "Heard the roar of the crowd. He could picture the scene. Put his ear to the wall, and like a distant scream...he heard one guitar, that just blew him away...!!!"
ReplyDeleteSince one of the books is about the mythicism fad, I guess I should point out that one of the best hair bands was none other than Spinal Tap! The band may not have been real but the songs were.
