Comments

thanks for Reb's effort, finally STM recruited one literary expert!

but I am puzzled why Dr Lau's thesis examined by Gordon Wenham? since the latter is not so much of literary school....
dr lau had two external examiners. anyway, to get prof gordon wenham to be one's examiner and get through it is itself an achievement.
