The end of Biblical studies?

Higgaion is doing a series reviewing Hector Avalos' book The End of Biblical Studies. Many readers may already know Avalos as a professor who led a petition drive against Ingelligent Design, and provoked some rather silly attacks because of it. From what it sounds like, Avalos' new book makes plenty of good points, but the thesis seems over stated. Liberal scholarship has its share of crap, just as much as Evangelicalism, really, but that doesn't mean the field should be abandoned all together.
