DVC talk at SAC

The talk (1 & 2 June) by Dr Ben Witherington had been informative, yet not boring. He has the ability to keep his audience awake through humor. "Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, stick with these and you can't go wrong." What amazes me also is his ablility to preach without any notes. I think he has repeated this talk so many times he has probably memorised the whole thing! ... also, not forgetting that he has written more than a dozen books. In the 2-day talk, Dr Witherington exposed the 7 errors of the Da Vinci Code novel. As a preacher, he is certainly able to captivate the audience. ... btw. ... he looked different from his photograph at the back cover of one of his books.

pics of him...? I did not bring a digital camera along that day. My bag was overloaded carrying books authored by Dr Witherington. I got him to autograph 5 books. It's a rare chance to see a great bible scholar in person. Otherwise, have to go Asbury TS!
