Product Description

Synopsis
Many best sellers have been written about bible prophecy and their influence is sure to increase as the millennium approaches. Their authors first claim that many accurate predictions were made by the prophets of ancient times, and then insist that they themselves have that ability, using the Bible like a crystal ball to predict the usually apocalyptic future. Rarely have their methods of interpretation, their logic, or historical accuracy been questioned. Tim Callahan rises to the challenge with wit and clarity. How accurate were the Biblical prophets? Are modern events fulfilment of things described in the book of Revelation? What compelling messages did the ancient prophets deliver to their contemporaries that are still relevant today?

5.0 out of 5 stars Scholarly, entertaining critique of failed bible prophesies, 26 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This book makes sense of the previously (to me) impenetrable confusion of biblical prophesies by setting them in their historical, social and religious contexts. Middle Eastern ancient history is complex and fascinating, but essential to any rational evaluation of the bible. At last I can see where the authors of Daniel Ezekiel Isiah and Revelation were coming from! The New testament writers' obsession with making Jesus fulfill the scriptures and their deliberate or accidental obscuration of the facts of his life fall into place. Finally Callahan skewers the modern millenarians of the US fundamentalist fraternity and although he doesn't say it explains why Regan kept referring to the Soviets as."the evil empire". Can't recomend it too highly to recovering exchristians and students of world history in general.

4.0 out of 5 stars Important addition to secular biblical scholorship, 3 Mar 1999
By A Customer
If Callahan's work needs any vindication outside of itself, the sheer disgust it inspires in blatant fundie apologists provides it. Aside from acting as an efficient debunking machine, the book is strong in basic biblical history. Downside: some of his points are not very clear. Sometimes arguments are lost in trying to import and summarize other complex fields of study. Not for beach reading. Perks: Great reference for biblical debates.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prophecy 0, History 1, 23 Oct 1998
By A Customer
Mr. Callahan shows with detailed, step by step dissection of Bible "Prophecy" that it is nothing more than history after the fact or wishfull thinking by the authors. The fact that Paul says in the Bible that all prophecy is true doesn't make it so. This book as part an overall skeptical study of the Bible shows prophecy for the paper tiger it is.
