THE DRUMS OF CHAOS by Richard L. Tierney is the author's magnum
opus: an epic alternate history dark fantasy Cthulhu Mythos novel
that featurs Tierney's most famous characters, Simon of Gitta and
John Taggart. Set in the Holy Land during the time of the ministry
of Jesus of Nazareth, Simon of Gitta is on mission to avenge the
deaths of his parents, seeking revenge in blood against the Roman
officials who commited the murders. As he travels the Holy Lands
with his mentor Dositheus, and their student Menander, they become
entangled in a complex plot designed to call down a monstrous alien
entity to herald a new aeon on Earth. John Taggart, the time
traveler from Tierney's THE WINDS OF ZARR becomes involved with
Simon of Gitta, as their separate quests converge toward a common
goal of saving the very Earth. This novel should appeal to fans of
fantasy and sword & sorcery fiction, in the vein of Robert E.
Howard, and the elements of the Cthulhu Mythos will satisfy the
many fans of H.P. Lovecraft.

THE BLACK SUTRA by Walter C. DeBill Jr. is the author's first short
story fiction collection. His name should be familiar to many, as
he was one of the authors included in the famous anthology
DISCIPLES OF CTHULHU edited by E. Paul Berglund. THE BLACK SUTRA is
a horror fiction collection, and will appeal to fans of H.P.
Lovecraft & his "Cthulhu Mythos," as the story contains several
Cthulhu Mythos tales, and also stories of classic Lovecraftian
horror. Noted author and scholar Robert M. Price provides the
introduction for the book.
After more than a century of New Testament scholarship, it has
become clear that the Jesus of the gospels is a fictive amalgam,
reflecting the hopes and beliefs of the early Christian community
and revealing very little about the historical Jesus. Over the
millennia since the beginning of Christianity various
congregations, from fundamentalist to liberal, have tended to
produce a Jesus figurehead that functions as a symbolic cloak for
their specific theological agendas.
Through extensive research and fresh textual insights Robert M.
Price paves the way for a new reconstruction of Christian origins.
Moving beyond the work of Burton L. Mack and John Dominic Crossan
on Jesus movements and Christ cults, which shows how the various
Jesus figures may have amalgamated into the patchwork savior of
Christian faith, Price takes an innovative approach. He links the
work of F.C. Baur, Walter Bauer, Helmut Koester, and James M.
Robinson with that of early Christ-myth theorists-two camps of
biblical analysis that have never communicated.
Arguing that perhaps Jesus never existed as a historical figure,
Price maintains an agnostic stance, while putting many puzzles and
scholarly debates in a new light.
He also incorporates neglected parallels from Islam, the Baha'i
Faith, and Buddhism. Deconstructing Jesus provides a valuable
bridge between New Testament scholarship and early freethinkers in
a refreshing cross-fertilization of perspectives.
Theologian and writer Robert M. Price is perhaps best known today
for his scholarly arguments against the existence of a historical
Jesus. Yet, he has been at various times in his career an agnostic,
an exponent of Liberal Protestant theology, a nontheist, a secular
humanist, a religious humanist, a Unitarian-Universalist wannabe,
an unaffiliated Universalist, and a Fellow of the Jesus Seminar.
Any way you cut it, he is not your typical atheist. This collection
of his best essays demonstrates his love for the various great
religions, which he views as endlessly fascinating expressions of
the human spirit. Beneath the keen insights and sharp critiques he
offers, whether the subject is theology, secularism, or biblical
studies, the essays themselves are also deeply personal and
revealing. Read together, they document his self-extrication from
the born-again Christianity in which he dwelt for some dozen
years--and his subsequent rise to celebrated freethought advocate
whose work has challenged an entire field.
