James CHRISTIAN,

 

I don't think the moderators would like me to guess your religious beliefs 
based on your postings which I have often read. I never noticed any obvious 
bias, but bias is not always obvious. You seem pretty MODERATE to me. 

 

If  a scholar with a PhD says something, a lot of people listen, even if you 
and Karl are not as impressed. If a scholar's life is dedicated 100 per cent 
to his or her religious faith like in Orthodox Judaism, and it is the center 
of his or her life, then that is a major commitment to that person, and it 
will affect how that person looks at the Hebrew Bible. Every translation and 
explanation will be shaped by that faith. The same is true for anti-religious 
scholars.
