Book Reviews of Jesus Is Dead
Book Review: Apologetics is dead after this book
Summary: 5 Stars
This book does a fine job of demolishing the arguments of Christian apologists. Price shows how apologists operate by getting you to buy into some very shakey assumptions - that the gospel narratives, minus the supernatural - are basically historically reliable. Then they use events and characters in the story to argue that Jesus really did rise from the dead.
However, upon closer inspection the gospel narratives are not even remotely historical accounts, and provide numerous internal clues to this effect. The apologist tactic is tantamount to proving the existence of Batman by quoting the words of Robin, the Boy Wonder.
Price takes on quite a few specific big name apologists such as N.T. Wright, William Lane Craig, Glenn Miller, and Gary Habermas. He provides slam-dunk refutations for specific arguments, with observations on the general principle behind apologetic flim-flam tactics.
If you ever have to participate in a debate, THIS ONE BOOK is THE BOOK to read.
