His Name forever shall endure;
last like the sun it shall:
Men shall be blessed in Him,
and blessed all nations shall Him call (Ps. 72:17)

every now and then some academic makes a bid for fame in this kind of way!
Let's hope someone that knows her will take the trouble to point out that even supposing she made good her interpretation of that text.....she would still have the rest of Scripture to contend with.

From the Telegraph:
She said technically "bara" does mean "create" but added: "Something was wrong with the verb.
"God was the subject (God created), followed by two or more objects. Why did God not create just one thing or animal, but always more?"
1Ti 2:11-15 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.![]()

The guys over at Ref21 have a few connections that they draw from this to our own circles. I don't think they are off the mark.

Prof Van Wolde, 54, who will present a thesis on the subject at Radboud University in The Netherlands where she studies, said she had re-analysed the original Hebrew text and placed it in the context of the Bible as a whole, and in the context of other creation stories from ancient Mesopotamia.
Typical irrelevant creativity along the lines of other modern "experts" who re-analyse the Bible in the context of other fairy tales or in the context of other hate literature, etc.

By the decree of God, for the manifestation of his glory, some men and angels are predestinated unto everlasting life, and others foreordained to everlasting death.
That was sure the first thought I had.The guys over at Ref21 have a few connections that they draw from this to our own circles. I don't think they are off the mark.

"I am as happy as perhaps creation can make me. I enjoy all the necessaries and most of the conveniences of life. I have a peaceful study as a refuge from the hurries and noise of the world around me, the venerable dead are waiting in my library to entertain me..." --Samuel Davies
