Negative Positive
Title: old hat
Review: Nothing new in this wah-wah book, but what else would you expect from two authors whose background is in New Age mysticism and spiritualism. The bibliography is packed with texts that are nearly a hundred years out-of-date, e.g., The Mysteries of Mithra by Francis Cumont, published in 1903. So if you want the latest scholarly opinion on the relationship between pagan religions and Christianity this book is not the place to look! Whilst sources contemporary to the period bieng written about are ignored or quoted selectively (e.g., Justin Martyr).Wads of respected modern biblical scholars are also ignored (e.g., J. D. Crossan, R. T. France, Raymond Brown).I could go on, but I think you get the picture...
Is the review positive or negative?
