In ""Eyes That See Not"", Ludemann begins by first establishing the
foundation of objective-critical analysis of history. ""The
historian,"" he writes, ""is obliged to present objective evidence
for his or her assertions. The rules of the game do not permit one
to rely on uncorroborated testimony or claims of authority."" The
chronicler who fails to challenge eyewitness testimony and to
submit documentary sources to critical examination, Ludemann points
out, is not an historian.The so-called historical method used by
the Pope, continues Ludemann, ""has the sole aim of proving the
reliability of the gospels."" In fact, he says, the Pope ""never
examines their historical trustworthiness."" Furthermore, his
argument that Jesus was divinely inspired and that his teachings
were not derived from human learning is absurd, says Ludemann. ""We
do not live in antiquity, or even in the Middle Ages. In our world,
metaphysical or meta-historical statements do not go without
saying."" Science and the arts have long been autonomous and
radically independent of doctrinal belief. That epitomizes the
nature of today's revolution in theology.In ""Eyes That See Not"",
Ludemann offers readers an irresistible invitation: Rather than be
a passive inheritor of an ancient and jealously mediated tradition,
join with him and thousands of other independent seekers of
knowledge and become a thinker in your own right.
