Has JJ questioned the veracity of the academic achievements of Ben Shapiro, Benny Johnson, Matt Walsh, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, and all those MAGA pastors?
Ben Shapiro graduated from UCLA and Harvard Law. As much as I dislike him, his academic achievements are valid. I can't find any evidence that Benny has any kind of degree. Matt Walsh has a BA in Psychology from Northern Ill University. Alex Jones dropped out of Austin Community and has no advanced degrees. Rush Limbaugh had no higher education.

JJ a real one for letting Dan flex his credentials. But in all seriousness, Dan I cannot thank you enough for all you do in biblical critical analysis. You have a wonderful channel and a vast knowledge of the Bible and Bible history. You provide amazing context and actually back your claims up with evidence. I also really appreciate how you never give into your own personal dogmas and avoid being an apologist.
It's unfortunate that there is such a lack of respect for education in today's world. It takes a lot of work and a lot of intelligence to complete one of these programs.
I think there is more a lack of understanding with the proliferation of unaccredited online schools, and schools being run by corporations and private equity firms. It has degraded, but if you understand what a good school is, you can decipher whether they are respectable degrees or not. Basically, you need an education in getting a quality education. NONE of Dan's degrees lack quality. This is from someone who evaluated them for a living.
@@littlebitofhope1489 Are you suggesting that “schools” like Prager U are something less than accredited, online, serious institutes of learning? I mean, they have very serious advertisements on RUclips. I am shocked, I tell you. Shocked! And I bet “JJ” is probably equally shocked!
Torrey: not "lack of respect ... in today's world." Just in today's MAGAt United States. The rapid lowering of standards is indeed shocking and horrifying. 😱🫣👎🙏
Most people have no idea just how rigorous a PhD in biblical studies is. The language requirements is intense and demanding. Thanks for the sharing of your hard work.
As a BYU grad who just completed one MA in the UK (York) and is waiting to hear back from his second MA applications, this is inspiring! It's nice to hear someone say, "Yes, it's expensive, and worth it." I look forward to being able to hold my own research someday!
No, Dan. Thank you, good sir. You’ve been a valuable resource to me in understanding this thing we call the Bible for well over a year. I appreciate your work and dedication.
Hey, Dan, another retired LMT here, 30+ years of experience. You would have been a real asset to the profession with your critical thinking skills but so glad to see you here, so appreciate your work. Love having your credentials spelled out in one place. Silly that anyone would question them but consider the source. Oh, and that’s a great shirt for today!
You know they’ve got nothing when they go after your credentials. But thanks for reminding us all how much there is to consider when you want to do better than just be a popularizer of disconnected sound bites. Thank you for being in the messy middle, Dan.
You would also love Justin from Deconstruction Zone! He has a masters and a bachelor's in biblical studies including ancient Hebrew and Greek. He debates people about the Bible and knows it like the back of his hand. 🙏
Dan, stop! That horse is dead already, and that dog’s been walked! 😂🤣😂🤣 Actually, it’s really awesome that you’re getting to share more of your background and education. And yes, it’s fun watching JJ get dragged, too. 😁
Wow, the Society of Butt-Hurt Apologists is coming after Dan hard. And Dan is definitely living rent-free in JJ's febrile head. 🤣 Also nice to see that Dan has a plan B, in case the whole biblical scholar thing doesn't work out. 😄
@srdrmhssn That sounds about right. I can imagine them all under blankets in their bedrooms, with tears in their eyes, and screaming into their phones, "LEAVE WES ALONE!!!". 😆
@mtamer2943 Really. That whole "My unproven, unprovable belief is correct, true and good, while your unproven, unprovable belief is incorrect, false and evil" that goes on among apologists of different religions and denominations, is just plain ridiculous. It requires a mind totally incapable of recognizing irony, hypocracy or logic.
Sheer excellence. You are also gifted in public speaking. Iam in my 60s, dyslexic, and your videos have opened a world of understanding for me. Thank you.
Thanks Dan, now I understands your unique appeal when clarifying the myriad mysteries and complexities which arise from Biblical scholarship and all the nuances that resonate through history, language, legal and cultural understanding and more. What resonates loudest is a perspective that comes from a massage therapist and how this unique understanding can unlock the deepest of mysteries that have historically plagued your field of endeavor.
I not only appreciate Dan for his knowledge and his ability to explain that knowledge in an understandable way, but also his ability to bring humour into what he says and keep on rolling with his talk.
That is so cool, Dan, that you had Francesca as your advisor. I love her book, God: An Anatomy. It really opened my mind to the evolution of God. And thank you for your bright presence on RUclips.
I appreciate scholars and their published works. Also, I appreciate those who are willing to share and engage in public spaces. This pushes my thinking and research. Thank you Dr. Dan for your willingness to challenge me. I may not agree with you on some points but I am happy to have the opportunity to listen and grow in my understanding.
Bravo .. as an orthodox Christian love listening to you and your content I use to hand a podcast with a orthodox priest talking about comics in relation to Christianity
As the man himself has said repeatedly: google competently. All this info could have been found online, knowing nothing more than Dr. Dan's name and his self professed academic CV. That a detractor would be so lazy as to not have done their homework before making baseless claims says a great deal about how reliable their own assertions are about any topic.
Thank god you the showed massage certificate. I was starting to get worried On a side note, I bet having Emmanuel Tov as a supervisor was very rewarding
Yes, Francesca Stavrakopoulou really is wonderful! She was one of those who, in my early years of departing Christianity, I came across and was intrigued by her knowledge and what she said about things I once was taught, being wrong.
Sadly, the internet is overflowing with trolls like this silly JJ character. I think it stems from feeling inadequate. It is easier to pull others down to than to pull yourself up.
JJ, wherever you are THANK YOU for giving Dan a chance to be seen as even more credible by providing this very informative, articulate, persuasive, and entertaining discussion of his credentials!! Now, JJ, I assume you'll be providing the same for your credentials?? We'll wait.
🎯 Frankly, I still doubt his credentials in massage therapy but I am willing to be wrong if this lower back pain can be attenuated with a free session 😅
I think there are lot of folk out there who don’t seem to like that people are educated. I have been asking people to cite sources for their statements on social media, I haven’t had any citations in reply. You do not need to prove your stellar education to anyone it is clear in the well researched and argued points that you make. Hello from a very windy Devon.
I get cold sores too. Keep lysine tablets and ointment on hand. As soon as you feel one coming on, take a tablet and rub the area with ice, dry and put on the ointment. Rarely have one come through doing this.
Can I book a massage appointment with you where you just chat about your scholarship? I feel like that would be very relaxing to both my body and brain.
Never explain, never complain. Tempest in a tea pot. Some bitter individuals who never graduated high school challenging your credentials. Your profound knowledge and memory of scripture speaks for itself. On another note, when you get older, make sure you get a shingles vaccination.
This is why fundamentalists need to spend more time thinking about the stuff Dan actually says and looking up articles etc, instead of running around like morons.
Knowledge is knowledge. If one studies enough and develops the critical skills necessary for a certain discipline, it is quite possible to achieve expertise without any specific academic credentials. But such a non-traditional scholar would never question the credentials of another, nor would it be likely that his lack of credentials would make much of a difference.
Classic - if your detractors can't attack successfully the logic or premise, disparage your credentials (Ad hominem) - Keep up the good work you are doing
For those who care, we have already checked Dan's credentials, read his dissertation, and reviewed the topic of paronomastic Infinitives. JJ doesn't seem to know how things actually work. Typical of his type.
The lack of respect for education is truly saddening these days. I had a similar experience years ago when pointing out a creationists error in evolution. He took it upon himself to google my masters thesis from 2007 (which was on sequencing and phylogenetic content of scallop mitochondrial genomes) and claimed it was from a nonexistent Canadian university. It’s when I realized that you just can’t educate those that are against being educated.
I'm really sorry you couldn't get into a real University like UT Austin. I hear Moody might be accepting applications if you still can't get into an accredited school with a strong reputation.
Dan get a prescription for Valacyclovir from your primary care or dermatologist. Clears up cold sores like magic! It can also put shingles and cold sores into remission! I've been cold sore free for years thanks to Valacyclovir!
I subscribe to only a few podcasts and Dan McLellan's is among them. Rather than driven by doctrine and dogma, he bases his information on solid scholarship. It is extremely disappointing that some anti-intellectuals and obscurantists find Dan so threatening to their psyche.
My feelings are that these "other people", they work off the supposed ultimate expertise of the individual; The expert who knows everything and can answer everything. This person. of course, doesn't exist. But in their world generally, talks loud enough or has the support to drown out any disagreement or real expertise. A microcosm example of this is in the flat earth community. It is these nearly always "right wing" pseudo intellects who prioritise power and money and know how to manipulate people that do this. It irks me because it's been going on for 100s of years and people still fall for it.
Maybe JJ can put this whole situation to rest by simply presenting his certificate for receiving the Society for Biblical Literature's 2023 Richards Award for Public Scholarship. Oh wait...
Dan: and yes I've been well aware of what they are for over thirty years Me: ...hm i wonder what he's talking about Me: _googles cold sore_ Me: _reading_ blah blah blah blah-- *OMYGODWHAT!!!!* 😱 Me: _googles further_ Me: _reading_ "type 1....mostly spreads by oral contact....most adults infected" Me: *CRISIS AVERTED!!!!* 😃
Shit and all I got was expelled from high school when I was 15 for throwing a typewriter at the business studies teacher, although I felt sorry for the typewriter
That settles it. I'm not listening to anything Dan has to say about the laying on of hands until he gets his massage therapy license valid again.
