Thanks!  Albeit numerous scholars, particularly from Continental Europe do, in fact, prove many variances of Murray's hypothesis (whether or not many British and American scholars like that fact), my point in bringing this to your attention was that, as the phrase was stated, it implies to the reader that Alexander Brooks is a professional historian, when he is not!  Although, I find it somewhat ironic that JB Russell can be a lot more objective (eg. his book on evil and the Devil) when he is also an Evangelical Christian; while Prof. Ronald Hutton cannot, and Hutton is an Initiated Gardnerian!
