reputation

[edit]

Allegro's theories about the scrolls are very famous among the general public, but they are really bizarre, and they have very bad reputation among serious scholars. Allegro's reputation was destroyed later, when he tried to expand his theories on Jesus with even more bizarre claims. The article should make clear that Allegro's views are very far from any mainstream idea. --Enric Naval (talk) 23:40, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is biased against its subject matter thanks to you! Bizarre are your idiotic religious beliefs! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.205.161.218 (talk) 20:29, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

order of events seems to be off.

[edit]

this artical says, "Allegro later published The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross, with even more bizarre theories about Jesus. Allegro was heavily criticized by many scholars, including his own mentor at Oxford, and the publisher had to issue an apology.[1] Allegro's scholary reputation was destroyed, and he had to resign from his academic position" but before hand it says that this "book [the dead Sea Scrolls and the Christian Myth] was written nine years after Allegro's forced resignation from academia." that can't be right, or if it is than The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross section is incorrect, because that artical says that he resigned becuse of writing that book, how can he later publish the book that forced him to resign from academia if this was nine years after he resigned?
