An past, self-described "very conservative evangelical" reviewer criticized the essays during this assortment for his or her "questionable" liberal conclusions. it really is curious how assorted humans can learn an identical textual content and arrive at diverse conclusions. my very own examining of this anthology is that the essays try (perhaps overly a lot, actually) to stick in the midst of the line.

To get out of this problem, we might assume that the “sons of God” and “daughters of men” simply mean “believers” vs. “unbelievers” without any reference to biology (something I’m not aware that anyone does). This would defeat the whole point of the Seth-Cain antithesis. ) of the sons of God are actually from the line of Cain, what’s the point? Spiritualizing these names consistently defeats the whole argument of an antithesis of the family trees.

First, let’s understand the Hebrew. “Ben” is a son, as in Benjamin: Son of My Right Hand. [53] Ha is the definite article (“the”). [54] So the phrase is literally then, “sons of the God,” meaning that it is God and not gods in mind here.
