It wouldn’t surprise me a bit to learn that Adam already knows about this theory. But it was news to me and fairly fascinating to boot.
I just finished Richard Friedman’s Who Wrote the Bible? It’s a classic popularization of the Documentary Hypothesis, which claims that the Pentateuch (the first five books of the [...]
I admit. I’m still intrigued by Sarah Palin. I’m not convinced that she’s the blithering idiot that so many of my peers see. Nor am I convinced that she’s the great conservative / libertarian hope that many others see. But I’m definitely intrigued by anyone who can attract as much attention as she has attracted.
