Philip R Davies (1945-2018)

I'm wondering what the next gen of scholars is going to be - I think practically everybody who is a giant is technically retired or almost there:

• Thompson: 79
• Lemche: 73
• Finkelstein: 69
• Kitchen: 86
• Hoffmeier: 67
• Barton: 69
• Clines: 79
• Day: 69
• Dever: 85
• Grabbe: 72
• Na'aman: 79
• Redford: 83
• Smith: 61
• Mazar: 75

The only one with more than a few years left on the clock is Smith, everyone else is close.

But we can still stand on his shoulders.
