Pretty sure to truly understand the bible you literally have to be a polymathic, septilingual Oxford graduate and retired theologian. Equally sure no real God would set the barrier to enlightenment quite so high. Syriac? Ugaratic? Aramaic? Classical Hebrew? Latin? Really, Lord?
The Bible is a work of man, expressing the individuals of the times’ beliefs - and should be treated as such.
My Grandad fills me with faith. In humanity.
