A.D. 381: Heretics, Pagans,
and the Dawn of the Monotheistic State
Barbara Buzzard, 21st Century Reformation's book reviewer par excellence, enlightens us again. This time she brings us her consideration of Charles Freeman's book " A.D. 381: Heretics, Pagans, and the Dawn of the Monotheistic State." Barbara tells us: "In this groundbreaking new book, acclaimed historian Charles Freeman shows that the council [Constantinople] was in fact a sham, only taking place after Theodosius’s decree had [already] become law."

Did The First Christians Worship Jesus?
Barbara Buzzard reviews James Dunn's latest book: "Did the First Christians Worship Jesus?" Barbara gives Dunn mixed marks with kudos for his tackling of the subject and willingness to differ from orthodoxy. She is disappointed, however, that Dunn seems to lack the courage of his convictions and that he provides compromising caveats to his own work.

The Only True God
Barbara Buzzard favors us with a review of "The Only True God" by Dr. James F. McGrath. She gives Dr. McGrath high marks for his treatment of many of the issues of biblical monotheism including his opposition to the "creative" work of some scholars who would "split" or otherwise "abuse" (Barbara's term) the Shema. She is disappointed, however, that McGrath ultimately casts his lot with an admittedly post-biblical view of God rather than the clear monotheism of Jesus. |

Tyranny of the Trinity
"An angry Christian author!" Barbara Buzzard reviews P.R. Lackey who is incensed at the spirit of violence that has pervaded Christian orthodoxy. She is disturbed by those Christians today who are oblivious, uncaring and who sometimes perpetuate that same awful spirit. |

When Jesus Became God
"When Jesus became God" is a book that has gained considerable attention among those interested in the development of post-biblical orthodoxy as well as Christians in the pew who dare to wonder how we got where we are in terms of Christian beliefs. Barbara relates "My thanks and gratitude to Richard Rubenstein for his exposure of the roots of Trinitarian dogma, which has not only survived but remains the governing force of orthodoxy and which will continue to pronounce an anathema upon you if you question any or all of it." Barbara's review is unswerving and insightful as always. |
