Re: Is it honorable to force men or women to wear veils or any particular garment?
Most churches and mosques are run by men who impose dress codes and decide on what the punishment will be for infractions. In Islam, to the point of Honor Killing. With how many mosques are you familiar? I live relatively near five mosques, have visited all of them, and have met women from all of t...

Re: Hebrew puns.
And more to the point the 'leaving things unsaid' extends beyond puns. God wrestling with Jacob and grabbing his scrotum is the best representation of this, the secret obsession with the penis in the Pentateuch through the establishment of covenants, Moses's circumcision. Primitive cultures just ma...

I think this thread may be confusing two issues: issue 1/ why do historicists think that the existence of a historical Jesus is much more probable than the alternatives ? Issue 2/ Does the belief that the existence of a histori...

Re: Why Are Historicists So Certain That Jesus Existed?
Perhaps the bulk of them are merely "so certain" that the existence of an historical Jesus is the more reasonable inference. That said, it's interesting how the formulation of the question so effortlessly reflects a bias that seems to me not dissimilar to that found among some advocates of...

Re: The Documentary Hypothesis in the 21st Century
Unfortunately I do not know English well. I can not fully translate my articles into English. They are long. I will try to briefly describe them. Give final conclusions.
