Dear Mark:

I am not a Pauline scholar, though I try to read widely and stay on top of 
this field as much as possible. I am a published author (aiming most of my 
work at lay readers and pastors) and was a working pastor for over twenty 
years.I am serious about the New Testament and related fields of academic 
study. (Yes, I read your work with profit too!) I travel  a good bit, speak 
widely, and lead a busy life. All of this is to say that your response to the 
challenge offered re: Gene Edwards' book was an excellent model of grace and 
well thought out scholarship. You responded in a way that was patient, clear 
and helpful. I have read Gene Edwards and find him highly interesting, even 
entertaining in a way, but he is not substantively convincing with regard to 
the points he often makes. You provided a great lesson to all who read these 
corpus-paul emails on how to enter into a proper debate that might actually 
be productive in the study of Paul.

Sincerely, and with gratitude,

John H. Armstrong
