Fellow biblioblogger, James Crossley, has had his book, Why Christianity Happened: A Sociohistorical Account of Christian Origins (26-50 CE), reviewed in Review of Biblical Literature. The reviewer, Richard L. Rohrbaugh, does take a couple of jabs at the book, particularly the overreaching title (and I do wonder whether that was actually Crossley’s choice or the publisher’s) and his early dating of Mark. But overall, it’s a relatively positive review, pointing especially to Crossley’s “impressive” knowledge in “Jewish law and rabbinic teaching.”
