>I love how raygun claims his single set of "rules" can be applied to the entire Bible, as if it were a single book conforming to a single literary paradigm. It's amazing anyone can make such a claim with a straight face.<

If you don't understand what he wrote just say so don't throw rocks because it is over your head..He laid out a systematic procedure for consistently doing exegesis on all scriture.By the way the method he expoused has been used by theologians both Protestant and Catholic for years.

He laid out a systematic procedure for consistently doing exegesis on all scriture.

And therein lies the problem. Different parts of scripture, even different sections within the same book, were written in different time periods for people living in completely different cultural and historical circumstances. Hence the absurdity of using the same exegetical procedure on all of scripture.
