Hurtado on the methods of Steven Carr

HT: Triablogue. Hurtado, who apparently is far from being a fundamentalist, nevertheless reacts harshly to some of Steven Carr's attacks on Scripture. It reminds me of some of the exchanges he has had here on DI.

    Wow I just read the link. Silly me, I was confused by Mr Carr's confidence, and that confidence meant that he had formal training in the field of biblical studies.

    That was the most elegant slapdown I've ever read! I'm glad somebody was able to say it. I was always searching for the right words with this guy, while trying to avoid just returning his nastiness.

    Jake: Don't confuse confidence with pigheadedness. When a blogger endlessly repeats himself (as does S.C.), it's not worth responding to him. He's not interested in a conversation, discussion, debate, whatever. He's got one thing to say, and will accept nothing short of your total agreement with him.
