Richard Carrier, Ph.D., philosopher, historian, blogger, has published a number of papers in the field of ancient history and biblical studies. He has also written several books and chapters on diverse subjects, and has been blogging and speaking since 2006. He is known the world over for all the above. But here, together for the first time, are all of Dr. Carrier's peer reviewed academic journal articles in history through the year 2013, collected with his best magazine articles, research papers and blog posts on the same subjects. Many have been uniquely revised for this publication. Others are inaccessible except through libraries or paywalls. Twenty chapters include his seminal papers on the scandal of Hitler's Table Talk, the Jerry Vardaman microletter farce, and the testimonies to Christ in Josephus, Tacitus, and Thallus, as well as Carrier's journalistic foray into ancient pyramid quackery, his work on the historical & textual errancy of the bible, and more.

logical, rational

Carrier is the most logical, rational critic of bible history and historical methods I have read and followed. Not much here that you can't find in his other writings and on his blog posts. But all in one place.

This is not recreational reading, this is Carrier doing research on some rather obscure topics that most people are not going to enjoy reading. But, it is amazing stuff.

Great read and great explanations for some of the oddities that we find in the Bible as well as other historical writings. This gives me more leads for research and interesting food for thought.

Reviewed in Germany on February 8, 2018

Ich hatte das Buch ohne gute Informationen über den Inhalt gekauft in Sorge, ob es noch relevant, gut und interessant sei. Meine Sorgen haben sich nicht erfüllt. Im Gegenteil: Ich bin total begeistert. Für Interessierte hier das Inhaltsverzeichnis: 1 The Function of the Historian in Society, 2 History Before 1950, 3 Experimental History, 4 BC AD CE BCE, 5 Heroic Values in Classical Literary Depictions of the Soul: Heroes and Ghosts in Virgil, Homer, and Tso Ch‘iu-ming, 6 Herod the Procurator and Christian Apologetics, 7 Herod the Procurator: Was Herod the Great a Roman Governor of Syria? 8 On the Dual Office of Procurator and Prefect, 9 Flash! Fox News Reports that Aliens May Have Built the Pyramids of Egypt! 10 Pseudohistory in Jerry Vardaman‘s Magic Coins: The Nonsense of Micrographic Letters, 11 More on Vardaman‘s Microletters, 12 Hitler‘s Table Talk: Troubling Finds, 13 Ignatian Vexation, 14 Pauline Interpolations, 15 Luke vs. Matthew on the Year of Christ‘s Birth, 16 Mark 16:9-20 as Forgery or Fabrication, 17 The Nazareth Inscription, 18 Thallus and the Darkness at Christ‘s Death, 19 Origen, Eusebius, and the Accidental Interpolation in Josephus, Jewish Antiquities 20.200, 20 The Prospect of a Christian Interpolation in Tacitus, Annals 15.44. Ich fand 12, 14, 15, 16 besonders informativ und spannend. Wissenschaftler und Laien kommen dank der übersichtlichen Schreibweise gleichermaßen auf ihre Kosten. Wem es zu ausführlich bzw zu akribisch wird, kann zum nächsten Absatz oder zur Zusammenfassung am Kapitelende springen. Bücher von Carrier sind überhaupt sehr zu empfehlen, besonders On the Historicity of Jesus, Not the impossible faith, The scientist in the early Roman Empire, Science education in the early Roman Empire, Why I am not a Christian.

Kompetent!

Reviewed in Germany on June 22, 2016

Das Buch enthält in 20 Kapiteln kleinere Schriften Richard Carriers, die zwischen 1995 und 2013 veröffentlicht wurden. Zu jeder Schrift gibt es Erläuterungen und erforderliche Korrekturen, sofern die damals zugrunde gelegte Faktenlage sich zwischenzeitlich änderte. Die Themen reichen von einer kurzen Einführung in die Arbeitsweise eines Historikers über Hitlers "Tafelgespräche" bis hin zur römischen Geschichte und den ersten Ansätzen zu späteren Publikationen bezüglich der Historizität der Figur "Jesus Christus".

Das Werk ist lesenswert, und zeigt sehr schön die Methodik wissenschaftlicher Arbeit auf. Es ist allerdings ein sehr wissenschaftliches Buch, das für Leser, die sich mit der Materie nicht akribisch auseinandersetzen wollen, nicht wirklich geeignet sein dürfte. Wer eher an populärwissenschaftlichen Werken interessiert ist, ist sicher bei anderen Autoren besser aufgehoben - Richard Carriers Stärke ist seine
Akribie und sein Eingehen auf Details, die dem Laien höchstwahrscheinlich unverständlich bleiben werden.

Also - uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung für an Details interessierte Leser, Finger weg für Freunde der Populärwissenschaft und Belletristik.

Awesome collection of Carrier’s work and papers!
If you like these, you’ll like his more extensive works in his other books.

This is Richard writing in full professorial mode. Some of the papers in this collection are very dry, and argued at length. They are however well argued and include extensive citations.
