About David Kunsman
I went to school for software engineering but through classes on logic became interested in the philosophy of logic and mathematics. Soon after I became interested in philosophy proper and also biblical studies. Throughout the past 10-12 years I have been studying philosophy in an independent capacity while also taking a few classes at a community college. In the realm of biblical studies I have been studying it consistently for about 5-6 years with an interest in the various arguments around the Documentary/Supplementary Hypothesis.NBN Episodes hosted by David:
