Price
preaches from both Old and New Testaments, as well as the Koran
and the Gospel of Thomas. Other influences on these sermons,
delivered in a Baptist church, include Paul Tillich, Paul de Man,
Rudolf Bultmann, Robert W. Chambers, Ingmar Bergman, Malcolm Boyd,
and Thomas Ligotti. The book features a foreword by Thomas Altizer,
an important new essay in its own right, as well as Price’s
introductory discussion of Deconstruction, then a set of
innovative sermons.
Despite its whimsical title, THE HISTORICAL BEJEEZUS is a work
of serious scholarship.
Price surveys the dismally unsuccessful effort of
post-Schweitzer scholars and decides it's time to pay attention
to some scholars who say that no biography of any "historical
Jesus" can be written for the simple reason that no such
character ever existed. Price himself is one of America's most
prominent Christ-myth scholars.
This book is an exceptionally
well-written, informed and witty smack down of Christian
attempts to deny the fact of evolution or incorporate it into
their faith. The authors show us in this masterful book, the
likes of which I have never seen before, that the implications
of evolution are devastating for the Bible and the doctrines
based on it. Absolutely brilliant!

The story of Paul
is one of irony, the New Testament depicting him at the martyrdom
of Stephen holding the assassins' cloaks…
…The
stories were didactic tales meant to keep us reverent and
obedient. As adults reading the New Testament, we catch glimpses
of a very different kind of disciple—a wild ascetic whom
Tertullian dubbed “the second apostle of Marcion and the apostle
of the heretics.” ...Robert M. Price, in this exciting
journey of discovery, gives readers the background for a story we
thought we knew.
The Human Bible
is a podcast that deconstructs and demystifies the Bible. It
takes a secular, sober, and impartial look at the Bible—no
belief in the supernatural, no favoritism, no animosity. No
questions are off limits, and no dogma stifles our inquiry.
