"Principles of Historical research need not be different
from criteria of common sense. And common sense teaches
us that outsiders must not tell insiders what they should
do. I shall therefore not discuss directly what biblical
scholars are doing. They are the insiders."


ON PAGANS, JEWS, and CHRISTIANS--- Arnaldo Momigliano, 1987
Chapter 1: Biblical Studies and Classical Studies
