Top 25

There has been some blogging out there on the possibilities of setting up a Top 25 list of the most interesting, biblical scholars in history. Michael Bird presented his list, and Sean de Toit has his list which is quite different.

I don't think we should set up a list of Philo scholars, but would be interested in the readers favorites of scholars that have dealt with the Greco-Roman Jewish diaspora in the last century. Any suggestions about who should be on such a list? Victor Tcherikover, Louis Feldman, S. Applebaum, W.C. van Unnik, G. Delling, E.R. Goodenough, and S. Sandmel immediately come to my mind; other suggestions are welcome!
