Thank you for all the fun and participation.
Next week, I am giving away a bible to be followed the week after by a super-secret book.
Same rules. See you next Wednesday.
Joel Landon Watts is a Masters of Theological Studies student with a focus in Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific ideals of the past century. Currently, he is a TA for Old Testament at United Theological Seminary under Dr. Vivian Johnson, Associate Professor of Old Testament. His first book, Rhetorical Strategies of the Evangelist: Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark, is expected to be published by Wipf and Stock early next year. He is currently co-editing a book on moving from Fear to Faith (Energion, 2013).

Anyway, your book is one the way. I am behind a firewall at the moment so I cannot send email via Outlook. But, alas, it is on its way.

It didn’t look like my first comment came through and I wondered why.
In any case, thanks. I like Walton’s work. Ed Babinski quotes from him in a chapter on Biblical Cosmology for “The Christian Delusion.”
He’s gone the way of Peter Enns and Kenton Sparks, all evangelicals, who say the same things about ANE literature. It’s just a shame they continue to believe, but they do.
I just don’t get it. Why would anyone believe what ancient people did if they believed what their surrounding cultures did? But you do.
In addition, why would anyone believe anything written by people who are represented in Judges 19-21? This makes no sense to me.
There is nothing in the Bible that reveals a divine mind behind the human authors. What best explains what we see there? Is it progressive revelation and/or accommodation, or is it rather that religion and morality evolve?
My conclusion is that the Bible was written by superstitious barbaric people, period.
John, simply because you don’t understand it, doesn’t mean that it is not understandable.
We find in Judges some of the worse in humanity, but do we not find in Isaiah or the Gospels the best?
