Fine for scholars to comment on the way the Bible is being used in public discourse (shame on us if we don't do that), but for SBL to even consider trying to speak for us all when we're so diverse is unwise, it seems to me.<br /><br />Steve WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-1106010875353748732005-01-17T20:14:00.000-05:002005-01-17T20:14:00.000-05:00As I remarked on Ed's comment page (before it was ...As I remarked on Ed's comment page (before it was closed on the SBL survey thread) the fact that the URL to the survey was being widely distributed was going to skew the results (as you rightly show has indeed happened, in your last paragraph). The discussion, in my opinion, should have been among SBL members only through a password accessible survey and not a public mailout. That someone completely unconnected to the SBL was directing other folks not connected to the SBL to the survey proves the danger of such an enterprise. I hope that you will pass on that person's remarks to the SBL leadership so that they will see that the survey is skewed.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698562143972216357noreply@blogger.com
