It seems he also just runs an entire nutjob of an apologetics website that needs a deep debunking… sigh. Anyway, I hope for your scholarly insight Dr. Carrier!

These would have had curricula far superior to anything offered by medieval universities and were certainly far more conducive to intellectual curiosity.
