Finally finishig Lost Christianities and Orthodox Corruption of Scripture
 
and one oddity popped up. The Christian aversion to oral sex may have arisen by reason of a Letter of Barnabus, scripture which was excluded, because the "weasel" reproduces orally. Weird.

Both of these works are worth the purchase and read.

I loved Lost Christianities. I still haven't gotten around to Orthodox Corruption of Scripture. I assume it's much better than Misquoting Jesus.

It is better but it's still just an outline. In the interim, I've been reading a bunch of other stuff, so his materials constitute more a summary of the more liberal scholarship, as his lay works don't discuss the arguments within the academic community. I've read his just a few scholarly articles by him, but I'm not in that realm so my making a judgment is difficult.
