It's all about the text, says Lancaster Bible College professor

With modesty and erudition, Dr. Robert Spender of the Lancaster Bible College defends the historicity of ancient texts.

Gracious yet firm, Spender acknowledges how fast the world of Biblical criticism has changed over the past 100 years, but does not cede the game to colleagues on the left who chip away at the historical nature of the Hebrew Scriptures.

The dialogue will continue, undoubtedly -- one hopes that those immersed in study will continue to resist the temptation to caricature other impassioned scholars.
