Bible Review

Does God Have a Sense of Humor?

To the Editor:

The letters are the most entertaining portion of Bible Review. It’s comical how thin-skinned and insecure many of our suppose scholars are.

I’ve always been amused by self-righteous piety blossoming into pompous religious self-importance. But the intolerant and insecure, those afraid of all views other than their own, are real comic relief.

Certainly God must have a sense of humor. Perhaps his children should have a little more of that and a little less indignation.

BR’s Feminist Bias

To the Editor:

I received my first copy of Bible Review and was rather astonished at the masthead. Of the 25 names listed, 20 are women.

Of the 66 books in the Bible, I do not know of one written by a woman. I question, therefore, how a “Review” can be made by such incompetent authorities.

Further, I noticed in Readers Reply that others before me have expressed dissatisfacation with the feminist direction of the contents of the Review.

But what most alarms me is the humanistic, anti-Biblical tenor of the articles. My question is, why then do you go to such effort and expenditure if you don’t believe what it says? Call it by a more appropriate, “The Anti-Bible View.”.

Unless there is a decided change in future issues, do not expect me to renew this subscription.
