0:16.4 | among people who have not yet read it and we're talking about in quest of the historical |
0:23.4 | atom. Bill it's hit shelves now and is available. We're anticipating a lot of people reading |
0:31.3 | this book and I guess you're also prepared for pushback or questions as to what you're |
0:38.1 | saying. Certainly well I open the book with a quotation from the Old Testament scholar |
