Aside from his personal qualities, he could connect with the more than ordinary number of students there who had heard everything good about God and the Bible at home, but nothing at all, if not bad, about these subjects in "education." Even only to hear the Bible being used as a learning tool was exciting to them. One should recall, too, how low the estate of physics had fallen. We find our Dean of science reporters, Walter Sullivan of ...

Moses, meanwhile, does battle with a pharaoh called Duhmoses' (? ) who presides over a pretty weak empire. Solomon stays in 925 BC (bible dates) but is now in the late Bronze Age which apparently means he's allowed to be wealthy. There are also some letters written by Akhnaten to a Lion King of the Habiru who is equated with Saul.
