Another review came in, from The Midwest Book Review, June 2006, volume 5, number 6. (278 Orchard Dr, Oregon WI 53575) It contains the comment: "Strauss' Life of Jesus is very highly recommended..." Here's the complete review:

" Just over a century ago the name of Christian theologian and Lutheran Pastor, the Rev. Dr. David Friedrich Strauss, was prominent in Christian studies. Today he is known only to scholars. Now this three volume work, Strauss' Life Of Jesus, as translated into English by George Eliot, is once again available to both academia and the non-specialist general reader in a new, enlarged, inexpensive, "reader friendly", illustrated edition and represents the most complete account of alleged Gospel inconsistencies every written.

The three part trilogy of Strauss' Life Of Jesus offers students of the New Testament a remarkably insightful and concise perception of the life and teachings of Christ revealed in varying and sometimes contradictory gospel narratives. A 19th century classic study photomechanically reproduced (magnified 125%) and now available for New Testament Studies reference collections and supplemental reading lists, Strauss' Life Of Jesus is very highly recommended as a read which is especially informed and informative, a welcomed work of original and seminal scholarship that has stood the test of time.

This new set has recently been reviewed and praised by both "Reference and Research Book News," August 2006, and "The Midwest Book Review" June 2006. The latter reports,

"Now this three volume work... is once again availiable to both academia and the non-specialist general reader in a new, enlarged, inexpensive, 'reader friendly,' illustrated edition..."

Note also that each volume has its own ISBN number, so you don't have to order the whole set. Recently, Yale University ordered a large number of volume 2 (the cheapest at $11 each) because it was for a class and thought it considerate to save the students money. The professor ordered a few of volume 1 ($20) and volume 3 ($13) to put on reserve. That way, the student could decide if he/she wanted to buy them all.

"Reference and Research Book News" mentioned only the ISBN number for volume 1 but then listed the price for all three volumes together ($44 which is 20 + 11 + 13).
