In this landmark study of the literary relationship between the
gospel of John and the synoptic gospels, Gary Greenberg presents
compelling evidence for the existence of a written pre-canonical
Alpha gospel that contained almost all of the main episodes in the
adult life of Jesus (excluding major speeches, such as discourses,
parables, and "I Am" sayings) and which became the written source
for the core biography of Jesus in Mark, Luke, John, and Matthew.
While Mark used the Alpha gospel with only slight variations, John
had profound theological disagreements with it, objecting to its
theological message about how to obtain eternal life, the depiction
of Jesus, and other matters. This induced him to rewrite the Alpha
gospel so that it conformed to his own very different theological
agenda. Consequently, John's gospel functions as a thorough
theological critique of Mark, but the changes he introduced made it
difficult to see how he and Mark worked from the same written
source. By using John's theological concerns as a filter for
reading and understanding what objections John would have with
Mark's Jesus stories, The Case for a Proto-Gospel reverse-engineers
the editorial path taken by John and reconstructs the content of
the Alpha gospel. Finally, the author discusses the relationship of
the other two synoptic gospels to the Alpha gospel, asserting that
Luke also knew the Alpha gospel but used Mark as his primary
source, and that while Matthew did not know the Alpha gospel, his
use of Mark as a primary source ensured that his core biography of
Jesus also derived from this earlier source.

This volume presents current thought and criticism on evolutionary
epistemology -- the evolution of knowledge and knowing. As the
theme of the fourth T.C. Schneirla Conference held at Wichita State
University, evolutionary epistemology was examined from several
diverse areas of study including comparative, developmental,
physiological, and cultural psychology as well as philosophy.
Theories of the Evolution of Knowing addresses alternatives to the
genetic determinism inherent in Donald Campbell's concept of
genetic epistemology. The concept of integrative levels is shown to
offer a parsimonious, non- reductionist approach to the development
of "knowing" as a human capacity.

The Medical Breakthrough of Chelation Therapy: A treatment that
uses medicine to remove toxic metals from the body so they don't
make you sick. Chelation has long been approved by the FDA to rid
the body of lead by using a synthetic amino acid (ethylene diamine
tetraacetic acid), which binds to toxic metals and minerals in the
bloodstream, allowing a patient to excrete them. When metals like
lead, mercury, iron, and arsenic build up in your body, they can be
toxic. Alternative medical practitioners have used chelation for
nearly 60 years, especially to treat heavy metal contamination that
causes or contributes to heart disease. Chelation rids the body of
deposits that can lead to atherosclerosis, which causes coronary
arteries to narrow, leading to heart attacks. Patients have also
found relief through chelation for improving the symptoms of
autism. One of the most promising areas of research is in the
treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Because the buildup of metals
like copper, iron, and zinc are thought to play a role in
Alzheimer's disease, Chelation Therapy might have a place in
treating it. Full of hope-inspiring case histories, expert findings
and where to find treatment, The Chelation Revolution: Breakthrough
Detox Therapy shows how Chelation Therapy can alleviate suffering
in numerous medical conditions and lead to a healthier, happier,
and longer life. Includes a Foreword by Tammy Born Huizenga, D.O.,
owner of the internationally recognized Born Clinic in Grand
Rapids, MI, an internationally respected organization in preventive
medicine with a speciality in Chelation Therapy.

'What is an illness? What is good health? What, for that matter, is
medical science really for? Greenberg will make you think about
these questions in ways that I'm willing to bet you haven't. Along
the way, he will enlighten and amuse and provoke you in equal
measure. A wonderful book from a terrific writer' - William
Finnegan, author of Cold New World: Growing Up in a Harder
Country.When a doctor tells you that you have bronchitis and should
take an antibiotic, you'd probably say that this is an unbiased
medical opinion based on an impartial reading of your symptoms, and
it makes sense for you to follow your physician's advice. Should
you have the same confidence if you are diagnosed with depression
and told to take antidepressants, or informed that a loved one is
brain-dead and it's time to harvest her organs for transplant? In
The Noble Lie, acclaimed and controversial science writer Gary
Greenberg takes a penetrating look at common and accepted medical
practices and opinions that, while they may be beneficial for
society and help us deal with the unfathomable, are essentially the
product of moral judgments and not supported by scientific
evidence.In a series of riveting true stories, Greenberg examines
the processes through which alcoholism and depression came to be
accepted as diseases, asks why serial killer Ted Kaczynski was
diagnosed as schizophrenic, and examines medical pronouncements on
when life begins and ends. He also explains why there is no proof
that homosexuality is genetic, and there never will be. These
real-life science fictions may be well intentioned, but do they
cause more harm than good? Read The Noble Lie, then judge for
yourself.
MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE AND JOHN DID NOT WRITE THE GOSPELS --at least,
not according to modern New Testament scholarship. The evidence
shows that all four Gospels were written anonymously, and for
almost two centuries after they were completed early Christians had
no idea who wrote them. Eventually, guesses became traditions and
traditions became dogma. The evidence also shows that during these
first few centuries orthodox Christian scribes deliberately altered
or added to the Gospel texts, and many of these changes remain in
our modern Gospels. Yet, few members of the lay public know very
much about this history. Gary Greenberg takes you inside the
complex and poorly understood world of modern Gospel text and
source criticism and provides a simple easy to follow guide that
shows how New Testament scholars arrive at these challenging
conclusions. SOME OF THE FASCINATING TOPICS COVERED IN "WHO WROTE
THE GOSPELS?" -- What is the Synoptic Problem and how do scholars
resolve it? -- What is the mysterious Q source that influenced
Matthew and Luke? -- Is there a literary relationship between the
Gospels of Mark and John? -- Did the original Gospel of Mark depict
the resurrection of Jesus? -- Did the Evangelists agree with each
other about important story details? -- Why did orthodox Christian
scribes alter the Gospel texts? -- When scholars encounter
contradictory ancient Gospel manuscripts, how do they decide which
text comes closest to the original? -- What manuscripts stand
behind our modern Gospel texts and how accurate are they? Gary
Greenberg is the author of several popular and controversial books,
including "101 Myths of the Bible," "The Moses Mystery" and "The
Judas Brief: Who Really Killed Jesus?" His works have been
translated into several languages. He is a Fellow of The Jesus
Project and is President of the Biblical Archaeology Society of New
York. He has also served as a consultant to National Geographic
Television's Science of the Bible series.
"Gary Greenberg has become the Dante of our psychiatric age, and
the DSM-5 is his Inferno." --Errol Morris
Since its debut in 1952, the American Psychiatric Association's
"Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders" has set
down the "official" view on what constitutes mental illness.
Homosexuality, for instance, was a mental illness until 1973. Each
revision has created controversy, but the DSM-5 has taken fire for
encouraging doctors to diagnose more illnesses--and to prescribe
sometimes unnecessary or harmful medications.
Respected author and practicing psychotherapist Gary Greenberg
embedded himself in the war that broke out over the fifth edition,
and returned with an unsettling tale. Exposing the deeply flawed
process behind the DSM-5's compilation, "The Book of Woe" reveals
how the manual turns suffering into a commodity--and made the APA
its own biggest beneficiary.
Based on detailed historical evidence and logical analysis of
inconsistencies within the gospel accounts of the events leading up
to the arrest and execution of Jesus, Greenberg argues that Judas
never betrayed Jesus and that the Jewish priests never sought to
have Jesus executed. According to Greenberg, Judas, acting on
behalf of Jesus, together with the Jewish High Priest, negotiated a
deal with Pilate to avoid Roman military assaults in a crowded city
by keeping Jesus under house arrest with the High Priest until
after the Passover holiday and then allowing him to go back to
Galilee. But Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee, feared Jesus'
popularity back home and successfully pressured Pilate to break the
agreement and execute Jesus. This landmark study is the first major
historically-based challenge to Christian accusations of Jewish
involvement in the death of Jesus. Catholic Biblical Quarterly
wrote that Greenberg "has a keen eye for the ways religious and
political motives have shaped the story of Jesus' arrest and
execution."
