Margaret Barker's books
Has anyone here read Margaret Barker's books and would like to share an opinion? From what I have read, she appears to have some ideas that are not totally incompatible with certain mythical theories and yet she seems to have been well received by the academy (in that she was president of the Society for Old Testament Study and received a DD by the Archbishop of Cantebury).

There are quite a few mainstream scholars who have views that are not incompatible with mythicism.

Thanks Toto. I am just curious why we see so little discussion of her ideas here. I also wonder how well accepted her ideas are, by scholars other than Price?
