Reviews

In this extraordinary book, Geis takes on over a century of biblical studies. He counters the oft-repeated claim that interpretation of the Bible in the liberal, academic tradition is scientific, as he accuses academicians of anti-Christian bias. Geis uses reason, but more than that he uses a farmer-like common sense, which is often lacking in the academic world. -- Brian Welter, 29 May 2009 * The Catholic Herald, (Britain) *
"In the 'Afterword' to this monograph, Robert Geis aptly describes as 'labyrinthine' the path he takes as author of The Christ from Death Arisen. Completing a work of this magnitude requires a Herculean effort. Likely, only a handful of scholars in the world today have the skills that such a piece of research entails. While I am not one of them, Geis is. This work is a piece of philosophical scholarship of the highest order." -- Dr. Peter Redpath, Full Professor of Philosophy, St. John's University, author of Masquerade of the Dream Walkers: Prophetic Theology from the Cart
