I've seen some clips of it online (You can actually find places to stream the whole thing if you look hard enough), and it does have kind of an irritating Michael Moore tone that would almost certainly put off any fence-sitters who might happen upon it.

From what I understand, he assumes the reader has some background in New Testament studies. I suggest Raymond Brown's <i>An Introduction to the New Testament</i> as a good reference. It's beefy, but an excellent resource. I’m aware of Price’s work, but not familiar with it. From what I understand, he assumes the reader has some background in New Testament studies.

Out of curiosity, are you familiar with the work of Robert M. Price? He's one of the theology profs at the Johnnie Colemon Theological seminary and he's written several books about in which he apparently argues for a purely mythological Jesus. I've been thinking of picking up some of his books, in particular "The Incredible Shrinking Son of Man". Thanks Badger, that’s -another- book I’m going to end up ordering.
