I think I've mentioned him on the podcast before, Dan McClellan.

He's great.

He has like a million degrees.

He knows Hebrew.

He's studied the Bible backwards and forwards.

And, uh, he always says that the book in the Bible that doesn't fit the rest of like the teachings that is the most inconsistent with everything else that even scholars are saying, like, we're not even sure who wrote this one.
