{"product_id":"9780944344781","title":"The Jesus Seminar and Its Critics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe pioneering work of the Jesus Seminar has come in for high praise as  well as searing denunciation from the press, the clergy, the scholars. Now  a veteran member of the Seminar, Robert Miller, examines its agenda and its  inner deliberations, dissecting the rationale of the Seminar's historical  work and clearly explaining what its findings portend.In \u003ci\u003eThe Jesus Seminar  and its Critics\u003c\/i\u003e, Miller sets the record straight where necessary and even  highlights the substantial points on which the Seminar and its critics  agree. He weighs the major criticisms that have been put to the Seminar and  exposes their hidden assumptions. He shows how critics use hostile rhetoric  to duck uncomfortable questions that must be squarely faced in any honest  assessment of the historicity of the gospels.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert J.
