Can’t Stand the Bickering

I am not prepared to renew my subscription to BAR. I have enjoyed the articles, but I’ve become really tired of the bickering in the letters section.

Report from the Boonies

Thanks for years of learning from BAR and Bible Review, and now Odyssey! You help those of us studying out here in the boondocks know who the recognized scholars are.

Ad Nauseam

Back in the July/August 1999 you reviewed the book The Gold of Exodus very critically (ReViews, BAR 25:04).

Much to my surprise, in your current issue you accepted a full-page ad for the same book, thinly disguised and pretending to be a new book. This about-face on your part is dismaying. Does BAR need ad income so badly that you do not have high standards about what kind of ads you accept?
