NOTE: There are some British scholars in mainstream academia who don't hold to the 2SH, but from where I'm standing it's mostly to stick it to the Germans.

ERRATUM (06/15/2020): I just realized: the picture at 37:55 is not Robert W. Funk the famous biblical scholar, but rather Robert B. Funk the chemical engineer. Whoops! How embarrassing. (For me, not Robert W.: since I think even he would have to admit Robert B. is the more photogenic of the pair.) There is a picture of the correct Funk online here. https://www.westarinstitute.org/membe...

(01/09/2021): I was just trying to find something in this video and gaped in disbelief as I heard myself saying that "'catena' is the Greek word for 'chain.'" No it's not!! It's the Latin word for 'chain.' What the ham, I knew that. Not sure what happened there – my current theory is I was hacked by Russians.
