Neat Stuff
All I have to say is keep up the good work. I learn a lot of great stuff from this magazine. Thanks.
Worse than BAR
I debate daily whether to renew Biblical Archaeology Review as I sift for the 25 percent of the stories that do not belittle and blaspheme God’s book.
No such debate do I entertain with Bible Review. It is 100 percent Bible assassination. The Lord would call me to account for supporting this magazine’s race to the Abyss.
The Genesis Paradox
Re: “Genesis as Rashomon,” BR 17:03, by Pamela T. Reis. Finally we have an article that dares to depart from the standard scholarly views. In the end, however, whether the two accounts in Genesis were written by the same person or not is beside the point. Both are needed for a true presentation of God. In chapter one of Genesis, we have God the Creator who is high and above us. In the second Creation account God appears personally and walks with Adam and Eve in the Garden. This paradox of divine revelation is what makes the biblical account supreme above all other divine revelations. Jahweh Elohim is at once the great Creator and also the God who reveals himself to us personally.
