Hi Jay:
I have dealt with the Zeitgeist movie on my blog and didn't see any need at all to deal with the God who Isn't there its such a poor piece of work, reflecting no real historical scholarship worth mentioning.
Blessings,

Ben,
Off topic, but important, I think. With all the fear and trepidation expressed about your move to BeliefNet, I have had no problems with the site or keeping up with you, whatsoever.

I enjoyed this particular video over Isaiah, thank you Dr. Witherington.
Dr. Witherington, I agree with you completely about the film. It is sad to see it being so heavily advertised in DVD form on the NYT website.
More to the point - have you responded in your scholarly literature to the work of Robert Price. I've read your commentaries and know well (and agree with) your arguments on the historicity of the gospels. I don't understand how obviously well-informed scholars like Price miss the socio-rhetorical make-up of the gospels.
Blessings,
Jay Hutchens
Dr. Witherington, I found what I was looking for here...

Thanks again for your work. As a pastor wanting to tell God's good news relevantly as well as respond in an informed way to culture's "critiques" of Christianity, I find your work invaluable.
Blessings,
