Why is Miller's original article from the July issue of Bible & Interpretation no longer available on line? Its absence makes Brock's response seem one-sided & biased. As a biblical scholar & charter member of the Jesus Seminar & 40 years of teaching NT & historical Jesus courses I dispute his conclusion the Seminar "did not catch on with many scholars in historical Jesus studies". This is what conservative evangelicals would like an uninformed public to believe. But it is far from the truth. Suppressing access to articles by members of the Jesus Seminar is hardly the way to convince "the public" that it has a "minimal" impact on Jesus scholarship.
