Top Secret
The Truth Behind Today's Pop Mysticisms
By Robert M. Price
America may be the land of plenty, but in the
midst of our Walmarts, enormous supermarkets, and other signs of
material surfeit, it seems that many are experiencing a gnawing
spiritual hunger. New religions, spiritualities, and religious
therapies attract throngs of believers to megachurches, Yoga
classes, and the bestseller bookshelves. The latest popular fad in
spirituality is Rhonda Byrne's The Secret, which promises both
success and spiritual fulfillment, and is endorsed by no less than
Oprah Winfrey.
If you're trying to make sense of all the
offerings in this confusing spiritual wonderland, Top Secret is
just the book for you. Noted religion scholar Robert M. Price
examines the historical roots and the current appeal of today's
pop mysticisms. Critical and appreciative at the same time, Price
applies his impressive background in theology and biblical
criticism to put these trends in perspective.

NEW RELEASE
Jesus is Dead
By Robert M. Price
 This
collection of writings on the resurrection of Jesus (or lack of it)
represents a selection of debate statements, books reviews, and
critiques of internet papers, as well as research reports and
original papers. Price considers the views of older apologists F.F.
Bruce, John Warwick Montgomery, and Josh McDowell, as well as newer
ones like N.T. Wright, William Lane Craig, Gary Habermas, James
Patrick Holding, and Glenn Miller. The critical views of Andrew J.M.
Wedderburn, Gregory J. Riley, and Jonathan Z. Smith receive scrutiny
as well. Nor do quack books dealing with an alien Jesus or with the
Templar Jesus escape notice.

The Reason
Driven Life:
What Am I Here on Earth For?
By Robert M.
Price, foreword by Julia Sweeney
Interview
|
From the Back Cover:
“In his own
inimitable style, Robert Price in this volume challenges Rick
Warren’s bestselling book:
A Purpose-Driven Life.
With the rapier’s sword of Price’s insight wrapped in a
devastating sense of humor, he leaves not just Warren but all
similar fundamentalistic religious leaders bleeding and exposed
for what they are: anxiety driven, survival seeking, power hungry
people masquerading under the banner of piety
or hiding behind the sounds of the
sacred.”
—John Shelby
Spong
Author of A New
Christianity for a New World
************************
“The wittiest,
most thorough, and most devastating critique of the religion of
the Evangelicals that I have ever read. It left me wondering how
the religion of great Protestant heroes of faith like Luther and
Bunyan can have turned into the inane religion of Ned Flanders,
Homer Simpson’s neighbor.”
—Don Cupitt
Anglican priest, fellow of Emmanuel College in Cambridge
University, religious philosopher, and the author of forty books
************************
“The Reason-Driven
Life is a no-holds-barred
polemic against a piece of popular evangelical theology and will
make any and all readers think.”
—Clark H. Pinnock
Professor Emeritus of Theology at
McMaster Divinity College, Hamilton, Ontario
************************
Foreword by Julia Sweeney
"[The Reason Driven Life]
is a deeply thought out, theologically
accurate, heartfelt dismantling of Rick Warren’s (and all
Evangelicals’) worldview. Even the ideas that seem, on the surface,
to be unassailable (like Warren’s call to a life of service to
others) Price takes apart, reveals each for the sham it is, with
elegance and charm and disturbing accuracy. "
-Julia
Sweeney formally of Saturday Night Live, from the foreword
Will devotees of Rick
Warren's The Purpose Driven Life take up the gauntlet and
reckon with Reason?
This chapter by
chapter rejoinder to Warren's book is a vital counterpoint to the
culturally stultifying world view that Warren promotes and that
countless millions have embraced uncritically. Along with compelling
criticism, The Reason Driven Life offers a healthier,
alternative approach to wisdom and motivation than the simplistic
answers and feel-good emotionalism at the heart of Warren’s
prescription for life.
