What's the concensus on this volume? It would appear to be the best single book to start such a study. I read Peter Kirby's comments on Amazon - anyone disagree strongly with Peter's analysis?

(I'm thinking of buying it, and I just don't want to waste my money if the research isn't solid).

Well, the reason I didn't write a review here is because it just would have been a complete echo of Peter Kirby's discussion. I think it is extremely useful, much better than any of the intro texts I've seen in that it really covers everything, and has cool test questions at the end of each chapter that invite you to use the info to come to conclusions about specific claims. Quite good. I recommend it.

Just a footnote:

<a href="http://graynews.maine.com/2002-12-13/tiny_tales.html" target="_blank">Tiny Tales</a> - a little article on the ossuary declaring it genuine, written by John D. Morris, Ph.D., Institute for Creation Research. (?)

Nice to see the Institute of Creation Research placing such confidence in dating methods.
