I know I’m banned in China, but just about anything religious is banned there. Thanks for your interest.
I started when I noticed the big names in atheism were not acknowledging modern scholarship, so they’d make fun of Jesus cursing a fig tree, but that ignores what we know about the symbolism of fig trees. Also, believers are constantly pointing to their favorite parable or half-verse and saying how it supports their thesis that the whole Bible is all about love. So, picking a dataset that is already cherry picked, the 3-year Lectionary, I went looking for good advice. I found a half dozen or so things that could be said to be both good and unique, or at least better than most others. There is plenty of other common sense advice, the kind you can find anywhere, a whole lot of politics, and of course stories that reference earlier stories and claim that means something, aka theology.
To me, it’s a laymen’s guide to interpreting scripture. I try not to favor a particular viewpoint, sometimes drawing on liberal theologians, other times a Jewish scholar or a historian independent of religion like Bart Ehrmann. To believers, I think it’s threatening, so I don’t get much comment, and non-believers just don’t care.
