I am still wondering if you can explain what Fruchtenbaum has anything to do with anything. You paint him as a great expert on jewish history and transcription. Why do you have this belief? Nothing in his academic history shows he is a great expert. According to his
website
he studied archaeology, ancient history, historical geography, and Hebrew at the American Institute of Holy Land Studies and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.
But he does not have a degree in any of this. His B.A. is in Hebrew and Greek. It takes much more than a BA to be considered an expert in a subject. His MA is in Theology. Yes he does have a PH.D. and it is funny he doesnt state what the PH.D course of study is.
It does say this
The completion of his dissertation, Israelology: The Missing Link in Systematic Theology, was the culmination of 13 years of research for which he earned his Ph.D. at New York University in 1989.
This sure makes it seem like his PH.D. was in a subject like history, Israel or hebrew studies or something similar. Not it isn't.
According to NYU "Dr. Fruchtenbaum's concentration was Pastors, Missionaries & Other Religious Leaders in Churches, Schls & Denominations."
So again I need to ask, why are you holding him up as some great expert on the subject? I know he has a number of books. Notice how all the books are published by his own organization. I would think if his arguments were compelling and well thought of he would not have to self-publish.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
