Paul Rhodes Eddy

Paul Eddy is the co-author (along with Greg Boyd) of a couple of notable historicist books, for which both gentlemen deserve credit. If the Boyd post is more fleshed-out, this is because I have, in addition to reading the books, seen several lectures and debates involving Boyd, who seems to be the orator of the two.

See Greg Boyd entry for more info.

Suggested Bibliography:

• The Jesus Legend (2007)
  —Longer and more carefully annotated of the two volumes.
  
  Rating: ★★★½☆
  
  
• Lord or Legend  (2010)
  —A condensation of the former for a more pop audience.
  
  Rating: ★★★☆☆


• The Historical Jesus: Five Views (2009)
  —A five-prong discussion on the historical Jesus, edited by Paul Eddy. Price's introductory minority opinion essay serves as a kind of foil for the other contributors to lambast. It is a good example of the irrationality and rancor that some historicists display toward New Testament minimalism.
