They were there because they were good at what they did, not because they conformed to some brand of religious scholarship ideology, which, of course, isn't scholarship at all.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770384445526387065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-81511984970785337712007-12-31T08:31:00.000-08:002007-12-31T08:31:00.000-08:00Dear April -Thank you so much for this blog, it's ...Dear April -<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for this blog, it's been very illuminating. I've now read your book on the Gospel of Judas, finished Bart Ehrman's book Lost Christianities, and am now in the middle of Birger Pearson's latest book Ancient Gnosticism. Plus, I'm thinking that it's finally time to learn Coptic....<BR/><BR/>So thank you so much for the intellectual stimulation you provide.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17626228106192215280noreply@blogger.com
