re: #495 Guanxi88

There is no progression of montheistic tenets within Hebrew scripture, no sound textual basis for concluding it. If you are to interpret the text, you must accept it on its own terms, and, on its own terms, it is not a progressive unfolding of an understanding of the Divine. If you attempt to smuggle in the supposedly superior perspective of lit-crit, you immediately treat the work as if it were a collection of things written like any other work is written, and the Hebrew scriptures are quite clearly and obviously not of this character.

As an atheist, that’s quite clearly what they are to me. Stuff, written by people. From my limited understanding, written by multiple people. Could you cite a non-religious source discussing this ‘other character’?
