Vridar

I’d like to thank you for this very nice representation of what I was trying to show in the book. It’s always gratifying when a reader zeroes in on exactly those aspects I thought were most interesting and most central to my argument. Thank you for this careful and engaged reading of my work – much appreciated!

I think you have a high quality blog that provides a positive public service by discussing academic topics within a wider audience.

Very good. This post is going straight to the March 2016 Biblical Studies Carnival.

For an excellent example of generally high-quality scholarship by someone who isn’t a biblical studies professor, see Neil Godfrey’s work posted on the website vridar.org.

Neil Godfrey and Tim Widowfield, who both write at Vridar . . . happen to be some of the most astute and well-read amateurs you can read on the internet on the subject of biblical historicity. I call them amateurs only for the reason that they don’t have, so far as I know, advanced degrees in the subject. But I have often been impressed with their grasp of logic and analysis of scholarship. I don’t always agree with them, but I respect their work.

Neil, this is actually rather useful. Good job.

Neil, You’ve done a clean job in your posting on ‘Jesus the Healer’. It reflects well on you. Best, John

These reviews of yours are so bloody weird!
— James Crossley, April 2010

Thanks for your very elaborate review! I realized that I hadn’t added your blog to our blogroll. This oversight has been corrected. Looking forward to more segments.

I always enjoy reading Neil’s blog because I think that he is careful, thorough, intellectually fair, and honest.
