Welcome, MallornLeaf. Who wrote the book?

Daniel Telcontar, you read more into my remonstration regarding the Tolkien/God analogy than I meant.
Quote:
Moses and St. Paul [are] to God what Christopher Tolkien is to his Dad.
Not only is it problematic, it's incorrect. God can't be said to have taken pen in hand and then Moses and Paul collating and editing and choosing among a variety of versions to pick the most publishable. Some might say, perhaps, that God picked up Moses as his pen and wrote the Pentateuch with Moses/pen in hand. This is too mechanistic. It's not the way things go according to the Laws that govern life as we know it. Inspiration is an entirely different thing, however.
