Sobre IBD

This book is a series of papers presented mainly at the Book of Mormon Round Table. It lays out a case for considering the Mormon scripture as the work of Joseph Smith in the nineteenth century, not an ancient document written by various Israelites in ancient America. But, author Robert M. Price argues, this is merely another case of 'pseudepigraphy,' the genre of fictive 'as if' authorship common to the Bible as well. Price urges readers to a new appreciation of the intricate redaction and rewriting of the Bible in the Book of Mormon, and to a positive theological estimate of this approach by Latter-day Saint Christians. Critical studies of several passages in the Book of Mormon are included.

    This compilation by Richard Gravil of texts edited by W J B Owen and J W Smyser presents the four major political texts in Wordsworth’s prose oeuvre and illustrates both the detail of the poet’s political grasp, and the remarkable swerves he made between 1793 and 1835. The first text, A Letter to the Bishop of Llandaff (1793) is severely Jacobinical. Had Wordsworth published it...

In Tracing the Essay, G. Douglas Atkins embraces the very qualities that have moved others to accord the essay second-class citizenship in the world of letters.Drawing...

  • Not Peace but a Sword
    Robert M. Price
    It has become a near-universal assumption that Jesus was a courageous champion of Pacifism and non-violent resistance. But for many years, a few maverick scholars have made the case for Jesus having been an armed insurrectionist. This version of Jesus is the "black sheep" of gospel studies, unthinkable equally to conservative and liberal Christian scholars, who want the histori...

  • Houses of the Holy
    Robert M. Price
    In a shrinking world in which religion has become as much a motivation for war and terror as an inspiration for saintliness and benevolence, it is more important than ever that we understand faiths other than our own. Where did they come from? How did they begin? Were their legended founders real historical individuals? How do their beliefs shape their actions? Which faiths are...

  • The Gospels Behind the Gospels
    Robert M. Price
    What if we have been missing a whole stage of how the canonical gospels came to be? What if there were a whole raft of prior Jesus narratives, the fragmentary vestiges of which now appear in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? This would explain why these gospels seem over-crowded with incompatible understandings of Jesus ("Christologies")? In The Gospels Behind the Gospels, innovat...

  • Judaizing Jesus
    Robert M. Price
    A provocative challenge to the scholarly consensus on the Jewish Jesus, offering alternative interpretations and a new theory of Christian origins. Was Jesus a mainstream or sectarian Jew, as the scholarly consensus tells us?

  • Jesus Christ Superstition
    Robert M. Price
    While Christian faith cannot be reduced to mere superstition, few would deny that Christianity is too easily plagued by superstition. Indeed, many Christian theologians have tried to purify Christianity of magical thinking in favor of genuine piety. In Jesus Christ Superstition, Robert M. Price examines this confusing intersection of Christianity and superstition. Is "practici...
