Don
I hope this will motivate you to read Suns of God. This was written by the author concerning the "devastating reviews" that you claim prevent you from reading it.
"I refuted Licona - even in one of my recent missives concerning this
frantic fool. Licona is not a credible source, and he did NOT present
my work to anyone with any degree of accuracy. Edwin Bryant for one
admitted as such - Licona read him a couple of sentences, and he
responded, without having read one word of my work. We have no idea
what Licona actually told the guy, but none of the scholars that
Licona interviewed had read any of my work, so their opinions are
entirely irrelevant, as is Licona's, whose claim to fame is attempting
to "prove" that a Jewish man really rose from the dead 2,000 years
ago. As I've said before, he is not a credible source, nor is he an
honest person, as his methodology has demonstrated. I easily refuted
the first of his "devastating" (not) critiques here:
http://www.truthbeknown.com/licona.htmI couldn't be bothered to do likewise with his second, as it is simply
more of the same inane sophistry.
My book "Suns of God" is in large part a response to these various
shallow criticisms brought forth by people like this Don person,
who honestly believes that a Jewish man is THE god of the cosmos.
Before he goes calling others "kooks," he should examine his own glass
house. He can foam at the mouth over me and my work until the cows
come home but the bottom line is that HE HAS NO EVIDENCE THAT JESUS
CHRIST EVER EXISTED. Waving his hands around and making frantic
insults of my person will NOT make that fact go away. I've said that
before.
I have also provided an ENORMOUS amount of FREE material online that
clearly demonstrates the depth of my scholarship, such that even a
Christian conservatist like this one could easily be put in his place, since
HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT MY WORK. HE IS THEREFORE ENTIRELY UNQUALIFIED
TO MAKE A COMMENTARY ABOUT IT. But, like all Christian loudmouths, he
merely insults and talks over his opponents, attacking them personally
while demonstrating his own murky thinking in blindly believing the
most absurd and ridiculous suppositions, such as a Jewish man born of
a virgin who walked on water, rose from the dead and ascended into the
sky. Wow! If THAT'S not kooky, then nothing is, including me. Let
the blathering man PROVE those moronic beliefs, and then we will
entertain his opinions.
Here again are my voluminous resources:
http://www.truthbeknown.com/christconspiracy.htmlNote that the article "Bone Box No Proof of Jesus" was published in
"Secular Nation" after being recommended by DR. ROBERT PRICE. Price,
by the way - repeating myself again - retracted certain of his
derogatory comments, took down his negative review of "The Christ
Conspiracy," wrote a favorable review of "Suns of God" for inclusion
in "The Journal of Higher Criticism" and gave it a mention in the
bibliography of his latest book, "The Pre-Nicene New Testament."
Price has also gone on the air calling me a "scholar equal" and has
appeared on a radio program with me that was very respectful and
informative. Dr. Price has further written a favorable review of my
ebook "Who Was Jesus?" which can be found here:
http://www.stellarhousepublishing.com/whowasjesus.htmlThere are MANY people within academia who have read my works and who
have written to me with positive impressions. Most of them are not
within the comparative religious field, and their opinions would no
doubt be ignored and their persons insulted by these mealymouthed
apologists."
