To give an example, an Australian evangelical biblical scholar (Dr John Dickson) attacked GA Wells being a professor of German and not a 'proper' biblical scholar. In reality it does not matter at the least if the person presenting an argument is 'qualified' to present them. Look at Albert Einstein he came up with the theory of relativity when he was a patent office clerk.
I think that I am probably not the only one who would like to know more about Mr. Doherty's educational and professional credentials. No, it's just a fair, common and entirely appropriate request. Any information anyone may have about this important and controversial author would be appreciated.
