Very good recommendation from a prof.

Years ago, a prof who I TAed had said that if you ever have a conversation with a random person who's very interested in your topic, leave them with a text or 2 to turn to, to follow up their interests.

The other day at an (Irish) bar I met a punked-up yoga instructor who was asking me if Jesus existed, because people like Pantanjali may have been later inventions for composite texts, so I was able to recommend to her a short, scholarly-valid book about the four canonical gospels and the historical Jesus.

She was hyped, and thankful.
