The best book on Paul, ever!
Eddie has tagged me with a meme of his own devising. The rules appear simple: name your impossible dream, and then tag some more folk.
Oh, dear, I mean I am so full of impossible dreams, from scoring a hat-trick for England – preferably against Germany, through to fronting a sell-out indie concert at Wembley. But deep down, I still nurture that desire to write the book that turns Pauline scholarship on its head, and becomes the book that everyone simply has to refer to. It carries on the back endorsements like “This is the book I wish I’d had the imagination, courage, and depth of understanding to write” from scholars as diverse as Dale Martin and Tom Wright. The biggest snag is I have absolutely no idea what such a book could contain.
I tag John Hobbins, ElShaddai Edwards, Peter Kirk and Iyov.

Nearly midnight and I find this tag … I think I’d better resist the temptation to answer now and sleep on it.

Too bad you eschew celebrity endorsements in favor of competent scholars. Think of all the press and free publicity you’d get with endorsements by James Cameron and Simcha Jacobovici.

Can we pre-order it on amazon? Start chapter one and you might surprise yourself.
