Quote:Hoffmann holds graduate degrees in theology from Harvard Divinity School and a PhD in Christian Origins from the University of Oxford. He began his teaching career at the University of Michigan as assistant professor of Near Eastern Studies, where he developed the undergraduate and graduate program in Christian origins. From 1991 to 1999, he was senior lecturer in New Testament and Church History at Westminster College, Oxford.
As you can see, he is not some apologist fucktard trying to save his happy horseshit from the ignominy it so richly deserves.
I'm well aware of Tekton Apologetics and that lying sack of shit, J. P. Holding so kindly go blow jesus out your ass. I'll stick with Hoffman.
If the site of Tekton Apologetics is the one in error, then I'm sure you would not mind, if we looked back to the original source of this quote (Origin) and compared.
Other reviews seem to agree, that this translation of a translation is quite liberal, and adds quite a bit.
Now, what is important, is the facts... wouldn't you agree? Claims of Authoriy, or popularity, nor ad hominem attacks don't really concern me. What was it, that Origin recorded as to what Celsum said? If my sources where inaccurate, I want to know. Wouldn't you want to know if the information you are spreading is false?
