But the message titled "Alert" of the same day, either is a joke, or
qualifies as controversial or irrelevant to this group. If he wants to use
form/redaction criticism as well as Documentary/Supplemental/Fragmentary
theories that's fine. Just keep it to a particular passage in the TaNaK.

Given the fact that the messages are only signed with a name, I take them as
either misguided, or in jest.

Bryan,

So far as I can see, the lines that you quote from Barre are neither
controversial nor condescending. They simply allude to the prevailing
scholarly reticence to construct history from the pre-monarchical
traditions. What's more, Barre goes on to conclude that it is "highly
likely
that the HB does contain traditions that had a pre-monarchic origin." His
assessment of the Albright school is widely shared. Barre doesn't make ad
hominem arguments, but discusses ideas. That (not censorship) is what ought
to happen on a list that values learned contributions.
