Keith Hopkins

I was sorry to read on RogueClassicism of the death of Keith Hopkins. New York Times obituary:

Keith Hopkins, 69, Historian With an Unusual Approach, Is Dead
By CAMPBELL ROBERTSON

See also The Guardian. I never met Hopkins but almost did once -- he was a successful "media don" and was well liked by documentary makers who found his approach lively, engaging and televisual. So he appeared on New Testament related documentaries as well as those on the ancient world more broadly; I took part in an ITV series called The Apostles and the episode on Matthew featured Hopkins prominently as well as Graham Stanton.
