Publisher's Synopsis
A New Testament Introduction and Commentary from the perspective of radical "Higher Criticism," but informed by scholars from a wide spectrum of opinion and spiced with humor. It is facile to say that the Gospels (and Acts) are not accurate history reporting. It is more complicated, but also much more fascinating to dive deep into these texts to discover why they differ from one another and what their authors were trying to do rather than writing history. Holy Fable volume II employs source, form, and redaction criticism to make these scriptures newly intelligible. Author Price has a unique knack for making this kind of specialist scholarship understandable in plain speech. And he shows how even critical scholars have been timid in following these methods to their logical conclusions.
