Hi Jim,
Agreed. I wrote to Brian thanking him for giving us the /ipsissima verba/ of
CH Dodd. Not possessing his commentary in my personal library, I was relying
on frail human memory from 30+ years ago.
But considering the corrected quotation, it doesn't nullify my point in the
slightest. It's more gently put, but no less demeaning of Paul and Holy Writ
as ever I thought. As the curate with the bad egg said to the bishop, "Parts
of it are excellent" (/The Reverend Mr Punch/, cartoon "True Humility").
Now let's all get back to b-greek.....
