Title: Disappointing
Review: Although purportedly a book of scholarship, it is not. The author criticizes alternative theories of Jesus from the presupposition that his own understanding of Jesus is the only valid one. He does not attempt to justify his own position, simply assumes to be a defender of the "real' Jesus, while supporting orthodox Christian doctrine at the same time. He is oblivious to the obvious truth that the intellectual bankruptcy of conventional Christian doctrine leads people to search for new explanations of Jesus. Those who share his preconceptions will enjoy this read. Others will not.
