Biblical Hebrew Forum

I think scholars should tell their religious or anti-religious beliefs in a 
footnote, so people can know if their translations or explanations of quotes 
in the Hebrew Bible are affected by their beliefs. I have seen many scholars 
explain quotes in a way that fits their religiuos beliefs, and I am supposed 
to think that this is just a coincidence. Until I know what Yigal Levin and 
other scholars' particular religious beliefs are (Orthodox Jewish, Reform, or 
whatever), I can't trust what he or any other scholar on B-Hebrew says. All 
human beings are biased, but scholars claim to be unbiased, and I don't 
believe them.
