Ross, this is wonderful.. Living in the Bible belt, I am still surprised at intelligent people who boldly announce 'exactly' what a Bible passage means. I think that EVERYONE should have to take a history of the Bible ( yours is a great intro). I enjoy the sound effects and the plug for the Bookseller of Florence :)
Another tremendous video! (I'm working my way through the series.) This video appealed to me because I am a big fan of Dr. Bart D. Ehrman who wrote extensively about the subject of biblical forgery and reproduction. I am surprised that I am just now hearing about Lorenzo Valla, but that's a new rabbit hole to travel!
Thanks, Jason - glad you enjoyed it! Valla is an absolutely fascinating character, and not known nearly well enough. He was a great provocateur, willing to take on anyone. It’s something of a miracle that he didn’t get burned at the stake!
I'm thoroughly enjoying your video talks, Mr King. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Thank you, dear Ross. Your explanation is very clear even for foreign listeners.
Thank you - you're very welcome!

Thank you! Yes, I always try to sneak in a plug for the book!
