5.0 out of 5 starsBig Trouble in River City
By David E. Blair on December 7, 2006
Format: Paperback
William E. Arnal is a scholar who received his doctorate in 1997 at the University of Toronto under the direction of John Kloppenborg. He has three books to his credit and many scholarly articles in prestigious journals. Both a critic and a historian he brings an unusual perspective to the matter of Christian origins. He is an atheist. He is also deeply read in the Marxist critics and has published scholarly works in that area as well. As he has stated and I paraphrase, he is a member of the Religious Studies Department and not the School of Theology. He sees no necessity for a scholar in his area of endeavor to be a confessing Christian. I agree fully with this conclusion. What I have read in this book and elsewhere about this young man indicates that he is a rising star in the field of Christian origins and academic criticism and is already considered to be a major scholar by his peers. He is safely ensconced as an associate professor, read tenured, in the Religious Studies Department at Regina University in Saskatchewan. This book and those of a few others by exceptional young scholars are being deeply discounted by their publisher Fortress Press. Expect to pay less than five dollars for a new copy of this book through online Christian bookstores.

This is a book in six parts. After a provocative introduction that forewarns the reader that major revisionism and criticism lie ahead, Arnal provides five chapters each of which is capable of being a stand alone essay. The big trouble I refer to above is that this book presents a massive challenge to the congenial presuppositions many of us have found in the "third wave" scholarship on the subject of Christian origins.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThe First Writings
By EEG on December 1, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Arnal debunks the myth of total illiteracy in the Galilee by showing that the scribe functionaries who collected taxes and kept records were indeed literate. He credits them with hearing and transcribing the words of Jesus in a sapiental collection (wisdom sayings) that later was incorporated into the Gospels by the NT writers. The NT writers, thus, were not dependent on oral tradition only for the sayings. They had written records from which they could determine the actual words spoken. Because the scribes communicated with both Temple and Roman authorities, they presumably were conversant in both Aramaic and Greek. Jesus and the Village Scribes
