Thanks! His work looks very interesting.
I went on a wee shopping spree since a lot of stuff was on sale and picked up some cheap books, including one of his :
A Dictionary of World Mythology by Arthur Cotterell ; The Masks of God, Vol. 3: Occidental Mythology by Joseph Campbell, The Human Faces of God: What Scripture Reveals When It Gets God Wrong (and Why Inerrancy Tries to Hide It) by Thom Stark, and How Jesus Became Christian by Barrie Wilson.
These all look much more solid than books like The Christ Conspiracy by Acharya S, The World's 16 Crucified Saviors by Kersey Graves, and The Jesus Mysteries by Timothy Freke. Those three books at least have very dubious scholarship, and often have a new-age like agenda to establish Christ as some mystical spirit being of Gnosticism or something. At least Robert M. Price is reliable for the Jesus Myth hypothesis, even though he concludes we have to be agnostic about the historicity of Jesus, not that he was for sure a myth.
