What is probably more on topic is Eisenman's views on Paul (his views on
James being essentially falsified by the radio-carbon dating of the Dead
Sea Scrolls).  In particular, I'm wondering if anyone has considered,
positively or negatively, Eisenman's thesis that Paul was a Herodian.

of Higher Criticism 3/1 (Spring, 1996), 110-22, reproduced on-line at:
