Jim,

I don't think the list is up for a series of essays on this topic. And given
your past form, I fear that much of it will be highly speculative. Can I
suggest that you ask some questions to foster some genuine interaction,
rather than use this forum as a journal or personal publishing outlet. And I
don't mean ask leading questions which are just thinly veiled statements. I
have mentioned this to you before, but you seem to slide quickly back into
monologue postings.

A further tip: Please avoid making sweeping statements. The spelling of the
names of cities in Galilee is certainly NOT "the single greatest controversy
that exists regarding the Patriarchal narratives." Such sweeping
generalisations actually reveal an ignorance of current scholarship on the
patriarchal narratives. Your insistence on such statements will unfortunately
invite only ridicule. You are entitled to your viewpoint, but please do not
portray your viewpoint as the standard view of scholarship. This is
misrepresentation, which is a serious crime in the academic world.

If you wish to explore these topics in the detail you normally do, please do
so on a blog. That is a far more appropriate outlet for you than treating
this forum as your personal column. Please take this advice to maintain the
spirit of B-Hebrew.
