Title: Whoa--Too Pedantic
Product review: Maybe I'm just not very smart (I only have 3 degrees) but I had a lot of difficulty with this book. I never did figure out what most of the exhaustive quotes had to do with the Historical Jesus. I guess I thought the author would try to demonstrate that Jesus was a historical figure or else that He wasn't. But if he did it escaped me. He seemed to try very hard to show the reader just how extremely erudite he is--and I have no doubt that he is indeed a very learned man but the constant pedantry just wore me out--he should learn how to simply tell a "story". Sorry--the book was a disappointment to me
