    I'm listening to this now, and am thoroughly enjoying it. I appreciate your point that in order to encounter Biblical Criticism on its own terms one needs to study ancient Ugaritic, e.g., which most of us don't particularly want to do.

    Given the tension between two approaches, how far can you deviate from each: that's a great meta-question. And the question of what's considered legitimate scholarship vs. what's considered apologetics.

    (And I still think "fallacious and counterfactual" is a surprisingly hilarious statement. As you say, why use one word when two would do? :-)
