I wanted to let you know that I've posted a (fairly critical) review of Dethroning Jesus on my blog. I really appreciated the openness to acknowledging the points of your dialogue-partners with which you agreed, and many of your criticisms of unbalanced claims of various sorts. On the whole, however, I still felt that this was more of a repudiation of a wide range of different approaches (ranging from the scholarly to the sensationalist) which were unhelpfully lumped together. And as someone who no longer shares at least some of the authors' presuppositions, I found some of the cases made to be unpersuasive for those who don't already share certain key presuppositions. Nevertheless, I appreciate the dialogue the book reflects, and hope that the discussion of these important topics in many circles will be done in a better-informed way as a result of your book!

Best wishes,
