Horrors and Heresies is the second fiction collection by Mythos Mogul Robert M. Price. "The Savage Sword of Jehu" and "The Son of Jehovah versus the Cyclops" appear in print for the first time here. "The Parchment Chase" is a Lovecraftian version of the TV show The Paper Chase, set in the Miskatonic Divinity School. All the stories have some sort of religious connection, mostly of a pretty darn unorthodox character. Price's extensive religious studies background enables him to create authentic-sounding heresies and blasphemies. Here you will find forbidden texts from imaginary scriptures, twisted versions of classic biblical stories from both Old and New Testaments, a "hidden" episode from Lovecraft's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, and an adventure of the late, great Christopher Hitchens modeled upon "The Call of Cthulhu." Is it blatant Political Incorrectness you want? You'll find plenty in "The Caliphate of Cthulhu." A couple of these stories first appeared in Secular Humanist mags including American Rationalist (did you know S.T. Joshi was AR's final editor?) and Free Inquiry, not usually the homes of weird fiction. Still another appeared in the late, lamented evangelical humor magazine, The Wittenburg Door.

These fascinating articles and lectures by Paul Tillich have never been reprinted from their original publications over half a century ago. They shed much light on Tillich's own thinking as well as that of Luther and Calvin, Bultmann, Kierkegaard, and others. He explores the nature of religious symbols, Christian Socialism, and the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Students and clergy brought up on today's thin theological gruel will be amazed at what they have missed!

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.

Was Jesus a mainstream or sectarian Jew, as the scholarly consensus tells us? This view-that we must automatically adopt Second Temple Judaism as the paradigm in which to interpret or reconstruct the historical Jesus-is often presented as self-evident, unquestionable, and beyond dispute. However, the promotion of the Jewish Jesus raises serious questions-specifically, whether this consensus is the product of theological and ecumenical agendas. In Judaizing Jesus , noted scholar Robert M. Price challenges this trend and offers a menu of alternative ways of seeing Jesus: Sacred King, Cynic Philosopher, Gnostic Redeemer, and... the Buddha! He concludes by proposing a new theory of Christian origins to explain how and why the first Christians themselves Judaized Jesus.

Theologian and writer Robert M. Price is perhaps best known today for his scholarly arguments against the existence of a historical Jesus. Yet, he has been at various times in his career an agnostic, an exponent of Liberal Protestant theology, a nontheist, a secular humanist, a religious humanist, a Unitarian-Universalist wannabe, an unaffiliated Universalist, and a Fellow of the Jesus Seminar. Any way you cut it, he is not your typical atheist. This collection of his best essays demonstrates his love for the various great religions, which he views as endlessly fascinating expressions of the human spirit. Beneath the keen insights and sharp critiques he offers, whether the subject is theology, secularism, or biblical studies, the essays themselves are also deeply personal and revealing. Read together, they document his self-extrication from the born-again Christianity in which he dwelt for some dozen years--and his subsequent rise to celebrated freethought advocate whose work has challenged an entire field.

Did Jesus rise from the dead? Focusing on the key questions relevant to assessing the historicity of the resurrection, this title offers an objective response to arguments offered in defense of Christianity's central claim. The contributors include New Testament scholars, philosophers, historians, and famous non-theists.

This work provides a critical analysis of South African politics throughout the 1980s, tracing a profound political transformation that has, the author argues, been under way since 1973.
