You two must be fun on a double date...

It doesn't have to be what you got from formal education but ANYTHING you have done, been involved in etc that is related to Biblical criticism, history, mythology etc. It can also be something you are currently doing.

Let the show begin.

Why don't we just make this part of the profile information?

I am a Religious Studies and English student at Hartwick College and I also harass both Christian Clergy and Rabbis when I go to the NYC area for debate and/or information. Sadly, my memory disorders makes biblical pinpointing difficult on a message board

BA, English Literature

BS, Journalism

MA, Theology (with a focus on 16th-17th century British religion and literature)

As far as biblical criticism is concerned, I have sat under what I consider to be some of the best scholars in the field, undoubtedly considered worthless by some:

-- Bruce Waltke, Allen Mawhinney, Mark Futato, Richard Pratt, D.A. Carson, Charles Hill, Simon Kistemaker

I am toying with the idea of pursuing a doctorate in biblical literature at Boston University under Peter Hawkins, but most of my thesis/article writing has been on religion and literature of the 17th century. In other words, I am no "bible scholar," just a hack.

I currently work as a research writer (preparing manuscripts and curriculum for a popular theologian), and as an assistant editor to a theological and devotional magazine that has over 55,000 subscribers.

Regards,

CJD

Because people hardly read them. Makes it easier to pool the info in one thread.
