I always remembered this person as he was one of the first to proclaim apostate views of scripture and become well known in the media.
There were articles about him before the internet. He was a pioneer with liberal/leftist views. I would call him a leftist false apostle
Many others have followed him but he was at the forefront - anyone else remember him
Unless he repented he would be regretting his blasphemy of God's Word
