Bibliography: 177

I looked up the quote from Bruce Metzger: a textual commentary on The Greek New Testament, and at least the 4th edition don’t have this quote in the page 367, someone please change this quote or look up for the correct one, I couldn’t find it. HBelk (talk) 07:35, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ESV Study Bible in lead seems odd

Better to stick to academic sources for the lead it seems to me. 2600:100C:B0A7:CABD:7D21:CBBA:225D:EEDF (talk) 10:34, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fringe

@Silverfish: Bernier is only an assistant professor (correct me if I'm wrong). If he authored a scientific revolution of Bible scholarship, that alone would have granted him a full professorship. So, for these reasons, I believe his work is WP:FRINGE, or at least highly WP:UNDUE.

Just taking the marketing for that book at face value, one would believe Bernier is a much greater scholar than Wellhausen. Which did not pan out in reality. tgeorgescu (talk) 06:43, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bernier's book isn't fringe given the support it has received by major scholars. Chris Keith himself has endorsed the book, among many others listed.

"Bernier's study on the dating of early Christian literature is bold and disruptive in a field that has become complacent on such matters. Bernier's argument...is notable and impressive, but even more impressive is his transparent style of arguing in such a way that those who agree and disagree will alike find this an invaluable resource."

Seems to sum up the response to the book pretty well.

Not becoming full professor doesn't mean as much these days given the decline in tenure-track roles given. Stephen Carlson mentioned that E.P. Sanders wouldn't have received tenure with Paul and Palestinian Judaism today at Duke.

And being faculty at arguably the top school in Canada is nothing other than impressive. Silverfish2024 (talk) 14:18, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
