From his podcast, he does not engage with my response to Martin except so say that he does not find it convincing, e.g. he does not discuss either of Martin's weak alleged cases of peribolain = testicle.

I was wondering if you've seen Dr. Michael Heiser's podcast on this very subject, where he seems to argue for it positively, citing Martin's paper, a rebuttal, and Martin' responding again in great detail?

But even if that is the case in 1 Cor. 11, it cannot alter the difficulty that PERIBOLAION simply cannot mean "testicle" here.Mark Goodacrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115370166754797529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882760792451007849.post-67435549460076410052009-08-05T11:29:40.787-04:002009-08-05T11:29:40.787-04:00But does this undermine his basic argument that th...But does this undermine his basic argument that the purpose of hair in the first century was thought to be the storage of semen?

He points out that Fitzmyer does that (i.e. rejecting a view without an argument) quite a bit in the commentary. Thanks for the podcast.J.
