Hi Ivor,

I agree that the Old Testament is a frame of reference (“the history”) for later teachings in the Bible. I find it interesting that all of the violence takes place in the Old Testament, but the teachings and miracles take place in the New Testament. Do you have a favorite book in the Old Testament? Mine is Isaiah, because God is really rough and really tough on the story’s subjects! I think God’s “recorded” voice is heard loud and clear in this book. I think study of other translations of the Bible can create a better frame of study for analysis and so on. What do you think?
