Guess the Biblical Scholar II and Bauckham responds

Richard Bauckham has written a response to some of the comments on his guest post on the alleged ‘Jesus family tomb’. I will be posting that later today.

Until then, can anyone guess the identity of the biblical scholar giving this lecture? It should be no problem this time for various reasons. The video clip, in which my rucksack and the floor make an unwanted 2 second cameo appearance, is only 20 seconds long.

Hello Chris,
I think it is the one and only Martin Hengel himself, isn't he!
See you later!

Hmm. I heard Herr Professor Hengel lecture once (his wife helped whenever he stumbled for the right English word), but what I remember was the lecture and not his appearance. (After a certain age all white haired, stooped German scholars look alike, right?) Okay, if the Catholics are right, I just added years in purgatory for that last remark, I'm sure.

Hi Alex!
You got it right!!
But then you live in Tübingen, so you should quickly make an online donation to CTRVHM for the cheek.

Hi Michael, that amazing thing about these guys can sometimes not be their work as much as their hair-dos... I'll join you in Purgatory :-)

Chris, I haven't the slightest clue.

But I have to say that's the worst shot video I've probably ever seen!

Have a nice day!!

Well thank you!
You just don't see talent when it comes up and knocks you on the head.
Nice to hear from you!
