Price\u2026is eager, almost perniciously so, to find insoluble problems in the Gospels, even if it means embracing theories that most scholars find improbable. The examples are legion, many of them indulging in forms of the fallacy of excluded middle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That sounds about right. Ari also links to a review of Price\u2019s book Jesus is Dead<\/em> in RBL by Tony Costa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mike Kok offers concluding thoughts<\/a> on Maurice Casey\u2019s magnum opus on the historical Jesus.<\/p>\n

On the topic of evolution, Northstate Science explains about Lucy\u2019s pelvis<\/a>, Michael Dowd explains why he is an evangelist for evolution<\/a>, and BioLogos takes a retrospective look at the year that has just ended<\/a>.<\/p>\n
