Tabloid Junk

Your magazine used to be a rigorous scientific journal. It is a sign of the depressing times to see it now: a rag sheet that twists science to justify Scripture. Recent headlines included: Noah sailed in a sewn boat! The pool where Jesus healed the blind man! Has BAR become the Weekly World News?

BAR is just like any other “scholarly” periodical—the prerequisite: it must be liberal. I would love a serious Biblical archaeology periodical that would deal with those oh-so-close-minded conservative views, treating them like real points of view, because they are.
