Prof Sir Fergus Millar is Camden Professor of Ancient History Emeritus, in the University of Oxford, UK. Geza Vermes was Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies at the University of Oxford, UK and was one of the world's greatest experts on the historical Jesus, Christian beginnings, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.
