Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Effective Response to the Jesus Seminar
Edited by J.P. Moreland and Michael Wilkins, with contributions from eight conservative authors, "Jesus Under Fire" functions as a response to the liberal interpretation of the life and work of Jesus Christ offered by the Jesus Seminar. The Jesus Seminar is a controversial and relatively well advertised group of approximately 200 scholars who have argued that the historical Jesus did not do or say the majority of things recorded of him in the New Testament.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Criticism of the Critics
What I love about a book like this, is that it takes a hard critical look at the critics.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An Important Work
I had to use this work while in school. I found the arguments challenging and whet my appetite for further studies. This give blow after blow to the Jesus Seminar and others like that. An Important work!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A lot of excellent points
This book has a lot of excellent points about various aspects the Jesus Seminar attacks. It's just enough info to wet your appetite and give you something to say in casual conversation to address these issues, but not enough for a thorough defense of any of them. But a very good overall view.
