"A Jew who termed himself a "Nazarene," meaning that he believed Jesus Christ was the Messiah, he believed that Jesus did not found Christianity, that St. Paul did, because he was mentally ill and thought he was himself the Messiah."

This is ambiguous: Who was mentally ill and thought he was himself the Messiah?

S.

suggested rewrite:

"A Jew who termed himself a "Nazarene," meaning that he believed Jesus Christ was the Messiah. He believed that Jesus did not found Christianity, *but* St. Paul did. *Schonfield thought St. Paul* was mentally ill and believed himself *to be* the Messiah."

Dates of Schonfield's birth and death? RDH

If Schonfield studied officially at the University of Glasgow why is he not known to them as an Alumni? They have no record of him. I asked. Check it out please. I do know he was at a Glasgow Bible College, but it was not affiliated with the University. I suspect he did not actually have a Universtiy degree, great though his self-taught knowledge may have been.

He was a Doctor of Letters (DSLitt) one of the highest doctorates you can get. He went to St Paul's School (and I have verified this) You can find more info on www.schonfield.org

[edit] Schonfield's exact academic qualifications

It is no good relying on St. Paul's to say if he went to Glasgow university or not. You have to ask the University concerned. I do know he went to Glasgow Bible College as a young man in about 1921. This is now known as the International Christian College and his signature and records of his stay can be seen in the archives if you look. I was told by a Glasgow university archivist that there was no record of him. But that was only by phone. Why don't you contact them yourself and check it out? Perhaps I am wrong. This message is for Wikipedia too. I don't know what a DS.Litt is. Do you mean D. Litt? Information in public encyclopedias should be absolutely accurate.
