My Take
Robert M. Price is one of those minds I'd love to spend an afternoon with. A New Testament scholar who argues that a historical Jesus never existed, he sits at the provocative edge of his field, yet he's also a devoted Lovecraft enthusiast who edited the horror journal Crypt of Cthulhu. Theologian, essayist, podcaster, illustrator: that span of interests is rare. Born in 1954 in Jackson, Mississippi, he channels deep curiosity in every direction at once. I'm drawn to thinkers who can hold scripture and weird fiction on the same desk, because that intellectual restlessness is genuinely fascinating to me.
