Zugegeben! Yes, I was making a generalization, not attempting to give
specific statistics. One could cite the circulation numbers of various
periodicals and journals devoted to the respective topics - or the numbers
of such journals themselves. Further, one could examine the number and
size of university and seminary departments devoted to the respective
disciplines. I'll stand by the generalization that more scholars are
involved with TC regarding sacred texts than are involved with TC
regarding non-sacred texts.
