Did JRS ever claim that title (Dr. or PHD)? That would be a bit out of character since most of the time he preached against the seminary’s and the academic approach referring to them as cemeteries. You have to have a real revelation from god, he would say.
I bought this for a while but later changed my position feeling that without a thorough understanding of the context it is probably difficult to properly understand what someone was trying to say two millennia ago. Knowledge is good and gives you breadth, the lack thereof, often gets you in trouble.
It is interesting that JRS strongly recommended learning in other areas.
