  This is an absolutely fascinating interview. The rationale on the definitions through comparisons on other contexts really clicked in my head. Incredible work, and great content for the channel!!

  Great talk, it felt like it went by so quickly! Sometimes my attention will drift and I&apos;ll have to rewind but I was engrossed the whole time.

  Dr. Tom needs to do more videos. He’s very well spoken.

  &quot;It&apos;s possible he liked Jesus but not his followers.&quot;<br>I know how he feels....<br>Great discussion, gentlemen.

  I don&apos;t know if this means anything, but at least in the English translation, when I read &quot;if indeed one ought to call him a man&quot;, my first reaction is that that doesn&apos;t really tell us whether Josephus thought he was <i>more</i> than a man or <i>less.</i>

  It sounds like Josephus would have benefited if 1st century Greek had included the notion of scare quotes. &nbsp;😁

  Already watched Dr. Gavin Ortlund&apos;s interview with Dr. Schmidt. Looking forward to watching Dr. Henry&apos;s take, here!

  An absolutely fascinating discussion! You’ve managed to take a complex historical and theological topic and make it genuinely accessible without losing depth. Dr. Schmidt’s insights, combined with your thoughtful questions, made this a truly compelling watch. Brilliant work!
