Biblical Hebrew Forum

[George Athas <George.Athas AT moore.edu.au>]

I simply do not see all these mysteries that you see, Jim. It sounds to me 
like a convenient excuse to dismiss scholarship, not join in its 
conversation, and instead build isolated opinions with little relation to 
anything. It is, in other words, unscholarly sensationalism.
