When I searched “bible scholar” I saw a lot of information about biblical studies and about bible scholars.
I looked at the “view history” tab of the Wikipedia page about the galaxy. There was information about who updated the page and when they did it.
I can’t think of a situation where you would turn to a source where the author is anonymous besides wanting to read the Bible.
The author is a professor, and he has a PhD from Princeton Theological Seminary. He definitely has knowledge of theology. However, his degree was in 1984, so some of this knowledge could be outdated. He has special interests in New Testament textual criticism and the apostolic fathers. He went to two religious schools and teaches at another religious school, so he definitely has biases that an agnostic or atheist would not have.
The book was published in 2008 by OUP Oxford. Susan Ashbrook Harvey is a Professor of History and Religion at Brown University. David G. Hunter is a Chair of Catholic Studies and University of Kentucky. This gives me confidence that the book is legitimate because both of these people have a history and expertise in the subject.
