Dear members,

The thread on Isa 42:3-4 has spawned a discussion on proof texting. Since
this latter
topic is about the history of interpretating biblical texts, there is no real
problem with
it, *provided* it does not venture into discussions of historicity or
inspiration, nor
make value judgements of faiths. As such, I encourage those participating in
the threads
to watch their wording and subject matter closely. The thread is certainly
borderline, but
let's give people the benefit of the doubt that they can conduct these
threads on
friendly, scholarly terms.

Should the threads take a different turn, however, there will be a call to
end them.


Best regards,

Dr GEORGE ATHAS
(B-Hebrew Chairman, on behalf of the B-Hebrew Chair Staff)
