I've just recently bought a copy of this and I'm reading it through.
It is interesting so far, and seems not too badly ridden with loaded
assumptions, fallacies, or wild speculations. Certainly better than
The_Passover_Plot, etc.
Was there a discussion of this book in this forum when it came out
(1987)?
More generally, what do folks think about the admixture of history
and miracle-stories, such as we find in the gospels? Are these
totally separate realms of discourse, or can we 'do history'
on the miracles as well as on the more mundane details given
in the texts?
What about the role of the above in talking with
non-believers (apologetics) ?

These are my opinions alone.
