Seems to be a leading English language New Testament scholar but can't find a whole lot of
WP:SIGCOV for him in secondary sources, nor does it seem like it can be expanded beyond a stub

Speedy keep. Subject clearly passes
WP: PROF #5 as holding a named chair (at Yale, no less).

Keep per StAnselm; borderline speedy per
WP:CSK #3. I have a bit of trouble believing that
WP:BEFORE was done, since a seconds-long search led me to
[1], which confirms that he was the Woolsey Professor of Religious Studies and
[2], which confirms that he is an elected fellow of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Snow keep. Nomination does not even appear to consider whether he passes
WP:PROF, which he obviously does. —

WP:PROF doesn't supersede
WP:GNG though. If this subject is in fact notable, the article should surely be expanded beyond a stub.--

Prisencolin: Technically maybe but in spirit you are completely incorrect here. You could equally well say that
WP:GNG doesn't supersede
WP:PROF. Neither one supersedes the other in the same sense that Canadian law doesn't supersede US law or vice versa — both are applicable in their own areas. GNG and PROF both have equal footing as notability guidelines that apply to different articles. One of the very first things that
WP:PROF says is "This guideline is independent from the other subject-specific notability guidelines ... and is explicitly listed as an alternative to the general notability guideline". And being a stub is not even close to being a valid reason for deletion. —
