EMPTY TOMB: JESUS BEYOND THE GRAVE
Robert M. Price and I co-edited an anthology on the alleged resurrection of Jesus, entitled The Empty Tomb: Jesus Beyond the Grave. The book is a reader of 15 essays on the alleged historicity of Jesus’ resurrection, with a topical bibliography totaling 25 pages. Contributors include Richard Carrier, Robert Greg Cavin, J. Duncan M. Derrett, Theodore Drange, Evan Fales, Peter Kirby, Michael Martin, Keith Parsons, and Robert M. Price.

You have the vastly unimpressive Ted Drange contributing to a volume on the historical Jesus?
Seriously?
Drange's contribution to the Empty Tomb was concerned with a theological-philosophical issue. He questioned the arguments given by apologists for why the resurrection was necessary. It wasn't a bad article. Wasn't absolutely spectacular, but it was certainly worth attention.
At any rate, Drange's work has its moments, in general. While I'm inclined to agree with you that often his work is not impressive, his book was well done, and he *has* written papers that are praise-worthy in the past.
Yeah, Cavin's article was definitely an excellent contribution to the book. Well done.
