I had some doubts about making this my next book. In fact, I considered going to I Am Radar, which I have not read in many years, but have fond memories of and have been meaning to go back to. But I picked this up just to have a glance, and pretty quickly sank into it. I've learned that there are two Noah's Ark stories, which I didn't know before, for instance.
More, please.

More interesting stuff. For instance, The Ten Commandments are not referred to as The Ten Commandments in the Bible.

In the discussion of whether homosexuality is a sin or not (short answer: no), Hoffman quotes Leviticus 18:22, which states that a man may not "lie with a man as with a woman." (254)
However...
"If the biblical text is used as the basis for the definition, though, “sodomy” cannot include oral sex or, technically, even consensual anal sex."
However....
"Today, 'sodomy' is often used to refer to any non-penile/vaginal sexual act, including anal and oral sex. If the biblical text is used as the basis for the definition, though, 'sodomy' cannot include oral sex or, technically, even consensual anal sex."

So couldn't you read Leviticus as saying "no butt sex" instead of 🚫 👨👨/👩👩 ?
