And he's been very kind to the church, which doesn't hurt.

He therefore sees the BOM as a 19th century document worthy of exegesis. If this was already assumed in your post then forgive me. I just wanted to clarify that in no way does Stendahl see the BOM as an ancient document.
Is there a reason a Harvard Divinity School theologian would consider the BoM an ancient document?
