reviewed The Christian myth on August 20, 2011 The Christian myth
This was a profoundly important book in my intellectual development. It asks the critical question of our age for Christians that gets to the heart of our worldview. However, each time I read it, I realize certain things:
1. My earlier struggles to understand bits of the book were partly because of my own laziness in reading;
2. However, it is also because it is a disclocating book, meant to challenge and set apart by several decades;
3. And, thus, at times Blamires comes off as a bit of a grump--in a sort of Gadfly-loving, smart uncle kind of way;
4. So, there are few today that would take the time to bridge the distance to get the key materials while ignoring the grumpy and irrelevant bits.
The book needs to be rewritten for new contexts, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the person to do it, though I would love to.
