Thomas,
As an Orthodox Jew, I find little to be insulted about. Many on this list
are Christians and have a right to their own traditions, just as we do.
Besides, although there is definitely significance in the title you use and
I do prefer "Hebrew Bible", in the context that both Liz and I teach, of a
predominately non-professional Christian-background student population, using
"Hebrew Bible" as a title would just scare them away. Assuming you actually
read my post, you will notice that I wrote about the way in which I explain
to the students the differences between the Jewish and Christian
approaches, both to the framework of the HB/OT and the content. It's like
using dates BCE or BC. I prefer BCE, but most of the people around me are
unfamiliar with the term. Getting insulted does not do anyone any good.
