Today on Ed Brayton’s blog, Dispatches from the Culture Wars (Thoughts from the Interface of science, religion, law and culture), there is “a guest post by Kile Jones, a grad student at Claremont School of Theology, creator of the Claremont Journal of Religion” interviewing Robert Price:
In this interview I got to ask Dr. Robert Price (a.k.a. “The Bible Geek”) some questions about his life and how religion and the Bible played a part in it. His new book, “The Human Bible New Testament” should be available on Amazon shortly.
Here is a link to the interview.

But I guess the most important piece of wisdom, which I have lived by, is Proverbs 15:1, “A soft answer turneth away wrath.” I try to get along with everybody. I hate to give needless offense, irritation, friction. Of course, if my opinions and theories rile them up, that’s different. Even then I try not to let it get personal. I have become friends with several of the Christian apologists I have debated.
I frankly do not take it to be so wise and kind as Price! Every time I discussed about mythicism with Christian apologists have always ended with mutual insults. This is stronger than me.
Price cites Barr’s Escaping from Fundamentalism as a major influence. That same book also set me on this path of Bible inquiry.
