Hi Kunigunde,
Thank you for this. It is truly frightening that David Greene, owner of Hobby Lobby, and other wealthy evangelists are apparently destroying history in their attempt to provide historical evidence for the Jesus mythology.
Warmly,

Must be a seriously mixed blessing for Trobisch. He was undoubtedly lured away from academia with a lot of cash, and he gets to work with ancient texts. Sounds like a dream job except that his boss is a fundamentalist of the most cartoonish stereotype.

Not sure if a "lot of cash" or three hots and a cot was the primary motivator.

I posted the link on Ehrman's blog. This was his reply:
"I think that must be the fragment. It’s highly controversial just now, since apparently the people wanting to get to these papyri have no scruples at all about destroying other antiquities (masks from Egypt) in order to get to them."
This hadn't occurred to me. Yeah, that's pretty messed up when you think about it.

Trobisch is cool. He was raised by missionary parents in Africa. Anyone from Africa is cool. African 'coolifies' people.
