Note 7 — Chapter VII · THE ALLEGED CONSENSUS OF SCHOLARS
Reading edition
Thus does one Gelehrter vom Fach estimate the pretensions of a whole sanhedrim of another Fach. Blass is a philologist; and incidentally we have seen how another philologist, Dalman, handles him in that capacity. Elsewhere, after another fling at the theological scholars—with a salvo of praise to Harnack for his Lukas der Arzt—and a comment on the fashion in which every German critic swears by his master, he avows that “we classical philologists ... have seen similar follies among ourselves in fair number.”7 It is most true; and the philologists are as much divided as the theologians.
