It is during times like this that I curse for being in the third world. Damn.
Anyways, Price's Jesus is Dead (or via: amazon.co.uk)is now available at Amazon. Amazon says:

Quote:

This book argues that (1) not only is there no good reason to think that Jesus ever rose from the dead, (2) there is no good reason to suppose that he ever lived or died at all.

Who is the publisher?

Is the "Jesus Project" really deigned the successor to the "Jesus Seminar," btw?

Deigned? Yes, by some. I think. But it looks like a very different kettle of fish with a different kind of metaphysics.
No publisher is indicated - I think it is a pre-announcement - that means the OP is not correct that it is on amazon.

Strange - there is no mention of this book on Price's webpage. I thought that "Jesus is Dead" was the original title of "The Empty Tomb."

The Jesus Project has no official connection to the Jesus Seminar. But there is a certain overlap of participants.

Do you mean "deemed the successor"?

I mean, in the transitive sense of deign, to regard as worthy.

I was just about to ask Peter the same thing that Toto did. I don't see it on the AAP website, either. This is kind of odd.

I got an email from Amazon today making the "announcement" - me being a huge customer and all

- I cannot explain the rest.
