What I found interesting about this book mainly was how he researched several different historical records to find a correct lineage and dating for many notable offspring of Noah down to the founding of many countries. Also, he showed how certain "mythical people" were actually real people who were part of the lineage, such as "Odin" and "Jupiter". These "gods" were mere men turned into gods to be worshipped. Of course, maybe some of them also were nephilim, I would not doubt, but it is interesting how people like Saturn literally setup worship unto himself. So these false gods were just men who setup worship to themselves.

The author's human nature gets in way of the book

Well, as a Christian who has known for about 15 years that the Bible does not exactly condemn gay relationships, I was hoping for a more analytical and balanced approach to the topic.

But as with most authors and human beings in general, he succumbs to an entire paradigm, rather than being more careful with what he believes.

Rather than going piece by piece and dissecting everything that goes along with the topic, he as many people do, simply accept everything.

What I mean directly is he assumes that if you are OK with people being gay, you must also be liberal. This to me is plainly ridiculous and shows laziness in analyzing things.

He does so much so that he can't even see the obvious war on Christianity in the culture. Its like he took off one pair of blinders to put on another pair of blinders.

To be frank, I am Conservative and have been for as long as I have thought its OK for people to be gay. And I think everything these days get politicized.

This is the second book like this. If someone has an "alternate" view on something in scripture, its like they by default assume you have to accept all the other ridiculous things from the "liberal" side.

Well, not sure if its worth listening through fully. So far, seems he is more focused on pushing the latest cultural viewpoints of progressivism than actually talking about the topic of sex in the Bible.

He also spends a lot of time trying to convince you that God is not what you have been led to believe with various jabs here and there.. Calling God a "night demon" where he references passages incorrectly, like Exodus 4:24, where God is speaking about killing Pharaoh's first born and how he met pharaoh 'by the way in the inn', but Michael here misreads it to say it was God coming after Moses to kill Moses.. If it was suppose to be Moses, the text would have shown a common technique of switching topic such as "And it came to pass". No, Michael of course can't resist twisting the scripture to fit some narrative of God being a night demon even coming after his own servants.. Is this suppose to be scholarship? LOL, what a joke.

He also goes in and tries to say biological designation is a cultural declaration. Something that is rather new and a fad of the current progressive left, where they deny science, while claiming to be scientific. I am sure that will bode well for Michael in the future, when long after he is dead, many other scholars see this as hilarious buffoonery. . I guess chromosomes are sexist or something..

I was hoping instead he would deal with the obvious anti-sex theme within Christendom, without having to put his own biases on other topics into the mix. But I guess even Harvard scholars can't resist.

Would have been better if he would have taken an approach more like Dr Anne Nyland, a Greek Scholar, who has translated the New Testament with linguistic scholarship based of new archaeological finds, which have shed light on the meanings of words.
