Title: Very biased, Author belongs in extreme minority of Scholarship
Review: This is an extraordinarily liberal account of the NT and Christianity. I would say that he blatantly misinterprets texts, completely ignores sections of the Bible, uses extremely loaded language, and is very anti-Christian. If you must buy this textbook (for class), I would highly suggest buying another NT introduction (perhaps by D.A. Carson) to be able to check these claims. While I do not find the dates to be wildly inaccurate (through my other research), Harris blatantly manipulates the Christian viewpoint and doctrine. If you want a good discussion of early Christian history, go to a Christian author, or at least an objective secular one. Harris sets out to discredit early Christendom, but only ruins his reputation and any semblance of scholarship in the process.
