Description Moving beyond recent work on Jesus movements and Christ cults, Price links the approaches of F.C. Baur, Walter Bauer, Helmut Koester, and James M. Robinson with early Christ-myth theorists. He also incorporates neglected parallels from Islam, the Baha'i Faith, and Buddhism. The result is a refreshing cross-fertilization of perspectives.

Price paves the way for a new reconstruction of Christian origins. Moving beyond the work of Burton L. Mack and John Dominic Crossan on Jesus movements and Christ cults, which shows how the various Jesus figures may have amalgamated into the patchwork savior of Christian faith, Price takes an innovative approach. He links the work of F.C. Baur, Walter Bauer, Helmut Koester, and James M. Robinson with that of early Christ-myth theorists-two camps of biblical analysis that have never that perhaps Jesus never existed as a historical figure, Price maintains an agnostic stance, while putting many puzzles and scholarly debates in a new also incorporates neglected parallels from Islam, the Baha'i Faith, and Buddhism. Deconstructing Jesus provides a valuable bridge between New Testament scholarship and early freethinkers in a refreshing cross-fertilization of perspectives.
