Biblical anthropology seeks to understand antecedents and explores the beliefs of Abraham's cattle-herding Nilo-Saharan ancestors. Until we better understand their religious practices we will continue to impose incorrect or inadequate interpretations on the Bible.
David Noel Freedman has said: “The Hebrew Bible is the one artifact from antiquity that not only maintained its integrity but continues to have a vital, powerful effect thousands of years later.â€
The Bible contains material older than the first civilizations. The king lists of Genesis 4 and 5 are an example. Anthropological analysis of the kinship pattern of these ruler-priest lines has shown them to be authentic. The kinship pattern is unique and does not appear to change throughout the Bible. The evidence of this distinctive marriage and ascendancy could not have been written back into the texts at a later date. It is the thread that weaves through the Bible from beginning to end. Further, understanding this marriage and ascendancy pattern is essential for a biblical understanding of Jesus, the Son of God, as the fulfillment of Messianic expectation. He is a descendant of the earliest named rulers to whom the Creator made a promise concerned the divine Seed (Gen. 3:15). Jesus referred to Himself as the promised "Seed" when He foretold his death in Jerusalem. He said, "Unless a seed fall into the ground and die, it cannot give life." (John 12:24)
Jesus' ancestors were the "mighty men of old" and great kingdom builders who dispersed widely in the archaic world. They were a ruler caste (clans that practiced endogamy) who spread along the mountain chains (high places) of Southern Europe and the Hindu Kush. They likely controlled commerce through the Pamir Junction. These were aggressive kingdom builders who regarded themselves as divinely appointed to disperse and subdue the earth.

The basis for my conservative values is my work in Biblical Anthropology. To conserve is to honor what we have received that is sound and good.
Yeah. What is/are your reasons for excerpting the first time you posted this?
Is Free Republic just a free advertising tool for you?

How does your conservative values line up with using someone else’s web site to promote your blog, when they have asked folks not to do so?
Not a cent, my friend. My blogs are for academic use and are offered as a free source of information for inquiring minds.
So why excerpt in order to drive traffic to your blog?
So are polystyrene butt plugs.
I made the image on Custom Ink to get the mug picture.
Now they keep sending me emails trying to get me to buy it, or encourage others to buy it.
For once, my spam mail is rather funny.
Even as a third party, I delight in spreading joy to others.
We need to find a way of marketing your online spreading of joy to the multitudes.
Maybe you should write a blog....
I get that onto the schedule.
