Reading Robert M. Price "Deconstructing Jesus"

[_The Erotic Apologist]

...the incompetent exegete...incompetent in his own discipline...incompetent in mine as well...other ridiculous/incompetent things...

This is your idea of a conversation starter? You must be the next best thing to nerve gas at social gatherings.

[_Kishkumen]

Incidentally, I am aware of Kishkumen's academic background; it gives him NO special insight into the New Testament or the historicity of Jesus. In fact, if anything, I would say that it gives him a false sense of knowledge in a discipline that exists apart from his. This is manifest in his affection for the crackpot Bob Price as well as his unknowledgeable remarks concerning the dates of the Gospels.

Milesius, I don't see how a PhD in ancient history would not be applicable to ancient history. Maybe the problem is that I don't coddle people like you who are accustomed to having sunshine blown up their rear ends for the sake of making you feel better about a pretty bad evidentiary situation. It's true that I won't do that.

You'll also note that, like you, I was not impressed by Richard Carrier.
