The method and conclusions of the Jesus Seminar have come under harsh criticism by numerous biblical scholars, historians and clergy for a variety of reasons. Such critics assert (for example) that the Fellows of the Seminar are not all trained scholars, that their voting technique doesn't allow for nuance, that they are preoccupied with "Q" and the "Gospel of Thomas" but omit material in other sources such as the "Gospel of the Hebrews", and that they rely excessively on the criterion of embarrassment.
