Just as cooks pray for a good crop of young animals and fishermen for a good haul of fish, in the same way busybodies pray for a good crop of calamities or a good haul of difficulties that they, like cooks and fishermen, may always have something to fish out and butcher. (Plutarch, "On Being a Busybody")
I want to thank Brandon Wason again for interviewing me over on Biblioblogs.com. (Check out my mugshot: it looks a bit different from the hobbit-avatar on my amazon site.)

Great interview, Loren.
That was a great read. I particular enjoyed this line about your favorite scholars:
"More recently, Mark Goodacre and Stephen Carlson have been influential; I think their contributions are part of a trend which will do a lot to propel scholarship out of love affairs with later documents, phantom documents, and hoaxes, and inject some healthy skepticism in all of us."
