Larry Hurtado (1943-2019)

Thanks to Duncan for letting me know about the death of Larry Hurtado. Jim Davila provides a nice discussion of his work in the link above and illustrates the great loss that has about in NT studies. Despite theological differences with Hurtado, I express my condolences to Larry's friends and family.

What a comfort it can be to know that God "cares for us" (1 Peter 5:7).

Very sad to hear of Larry's death, I would read his blogs. He was fighting cancer correct?

Philip, that is correct. Larry was fighting cancer; he discussed his illness on the blog. Well, he left us plenty of material to read. His approach was also different from many.
