An Oxford named found over 30,000 variants in the extant manuscripts in 1707. His published work on this started a controversy that has lasted to this day. and non-sectarian alike can thank Mill for the energy that his work added to their fields.

@DelilahTech That’s a good question, but I’m not totally sure how to answer. I read all kinds of stuff. Tom Robbins is my favorite author, and my favorite book of his is Still Life with Woodpecker. But I also love novels - he’s objectively a terrible writer, but he’s imaginative and crafts compelling storylines. I used to devour books from Red Dress Ink - kind of formulaic novels about 20-something girls who work in PR or publishing or related fields, trying to juggle their careers and their almost always unlucky love lives…”chick lit” I guess you could call it.
But I’m also a fan of non-fiction - religious history is fascinating to me, both mainstream religions and more cult-like ones. is a favorite, as is . I’ve recently developed a fascination with and would love to read more about that - fiction or non-fiction.
Like I said - a bit all over the place. I’m sorry if that’s not terribly helpful! 🙈

In his Heavenly Bank Account . .
All from those chumps who was
Born again
Oh yeah, oh yeah"

Whether you understand the book as a literal description of what will soon come to pass, interpret it as a metaphorical expression of hope for those suffering now, or only recognize its highlights from pop culture, what you think reveals…is almost certainly wrong.

Deconstructing the historical Jesus: The final Nine Inch Nail in the coffin for Abrahamic conservatism.

I just added 4 more lectures to my site by American New Testament scholar Bart D. Ehrman from his audiobook course “The Historical Jesus” in which he expands on the argument put forward in the book “Jesus: Apocalyptic Prophet of the New Millennium” that Jesus of Nazareth was an apocalyptic preacher.

“While our four gospels eventually were named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, did you know they're actually anonymously written? So, who actually wrote the gospels? And when were they written? Do we know where the writers were when they were written?”
