What I can't possibly believe, though, under any stretch of incredulity, is that a serious writer would equate "Anglican bishop" with "biased or predisposed in favour of conservative, traditional Christianity".

For him parallels<BR/>in other ancient texts mean that Jesus could not have said what is attributed to him or the event described did not happen. Moreover, because there is evidence that the sayings and stories of Jesus were edited and contextualized, nothing can be trusted. Price uncritically embraces the dubious methods and results of the Jesus Seminar, adopts much of the (discredited) Christ-Myth theory from the nineteenth century (in which it was argued that Jesus never lived), and so forth. Price’s procedure strikes me as an atavistic grab bag or a throwback that seems out of touch with genuine progress in critical studies in the last 150 years. What we see in Price is what we have seen before: a flight from fundamentalism."<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/toc/code=3318" REL="nofollow">Fabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the Gospels</A>.
