Larry Hurtado is Emeritus Professor of New Testament Language, Literature and Theology at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland (Professor 1996-2011). He was the Head of the School of Divinity 2007-2010, and was until 2011, the Director of the Centre for the Study of Christian Origins, at the University of Edinburgh.

Perhaps because of the great distance between myself and Prof. Hurtado during recording (a six-hour difference), a small echo creeps in.
