I remember, for instance, when Lee would cite Kittel.

I would think how impressive, how careful and all-inclusive Lee's scholarship was. But in hindsight he was just occasionally using Christian scholarship as a prop, and for a patina of legitimacy. Look at how quickly he would denigrate anything and anyone as "poor" and "deformed" which he couldn't use. Which happens to be about 99.5% of Christian scholarship.
And that is just the learned ones. The mature ones he could use even less.
