Tonight, I will be presenting a paper at the Institut zur Erforschung des Urchristentums in the Theologicum in Tübingen, and all manner of highly learned listeners will attend. Hopefully.
I am also trusting that it will lead to some interesting and useful debate, especially as I have an hour to make the presentation, and an additional hour for discussion afterwards.
Naturally, I will keep an open mind - but the bottom-line is, of course, obviously, that my argument is and will remain absolutely correct and beyond reproach …

Hope that goes well for you . . . If I hear of German rioting in Tübingen on national news, I'll pray for you.
:-)
To include a Blackadderism: considering that your debating opponents will be obese, sausage scoffing, beer guzzling, short-green-pants-wearing-thigh-slapping Germans you have little to fear. Of course, the Teutonic reputation for brutality is well know. Their operas go for 3 days and they have no word for "fluffy"!
I want a copy of the paper. By jiminy if anyone can find a hole in it its me!
Or maybe i'll just print it out and use my hole punch on it. Either way there will be holes.
;-)
Hey, I'd also like to read that paper.
Unless it's in German. Sadly the three years that I studied German in highschool did nothing to prepare me for theological German. Damn.
Hope it went well!
Hi Chris,
Cool blog. Looking forward to having a good look through it. I hope your paper went well. Let us know how it was.
Blessings,
Rory
What a lot of fun that was! And Prof. Lichtenberger was a real encouragement. Honestly, there are few things I enjoy as much as an intelligent debate - especially if I’m not on the ‘oops didn’t think of that rather serious problem’ end of things. Which I thankfully wasn’t. Times like that help to keep one motivated and focused in study.
So no riots this time TB. I’ll present a paper on ‘2007 As the Definite Advent of the Lord’ next time to provoke a bit more controversy.
Mike – I know its sad, but I laugh every time Blackadder is quoted. Although, I have some troubling news for you: I was listening to this very Blackadder quote recently while watching the DVD with Anja, and she went and burst my bubble. There apparently is a German word for ‘fluffy’. Flauschig. Of course all the stuff about brutality, evil operas, beer and sausages remains absolutely true.
Jim – you are actually welcome to read the paper. Try it. *throws down the gauntlet* Go on! Try to find one single problem, just one single problem. If you succeed, I’ll give you …
… a mug (and I’ll cry)
(same goes for you, Dan [it’s in English]. Though you don’t get a mug! P.S., I loved your last post!)
Hi Lyn, I’m not sure what that means, so I’ll go have a look …
Thanks for stopping by Rory – the themes of our blog have some good overlap I think.
Okay, email the paper to me -- daniel_oudshoorn@yahoo.ca. Glad you like the post, it seems not everybody was entirely happy with what I had to say.
Oh well.
