Melchizedek is interesting, indeed, but I haven't come to a firm conclusion about him.<br /><br />It isn't clear that Paul wrote Hebrews, although there are some authorities who believe that he did.Martin LaBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629053725732957599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-78657370394518201092009-08-27T15:57:12.814-04:002009-08-27T15:57:12.814-04:00Here is some Biblical metaphysics and science fict...Here is some Biblical metaphysics and science fiction:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.quantumcritics.com/20080302438/miscellaneous/general/star-trek-meets-the-bible.html" rel="nofollow">Bible Trek</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-60144423556052187002009-02-25T05:00:00.000-05:002009-02-25T05:00:00.000-05:00Thanks, Kate.

Too bad about this one.<BR/><BR/>I confess that I haven't gotten into <I>Falling Free</I> yet. I started it, but didn't like it as well as some of the other Vorkosigan books, or the Chalion works. I should get serious about it, I suppose.Martin LaBarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14629053725732957599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9661811.post-17221250220473916422009-02-24T22:28:00.000-05:002009-02-24T22:28:00.000-05:00I am taking a Fantasy and Science Fiction class ri...I am taking a Fantasy and Science Fiction class right now, for which we just read <I>Falling Free</I> by Bujold. I spent an entire class period at my secular school listening to my self-proclaimed agnostic professor (who is nuts anyhow...she sings opera in class. But that's another story) give a lecture on the story's parallel to the book of Exodus. At the end of said lecture, she said, "If there is a God, I hate Him!" While I get easily frustrated with the teacher, I think your post is interesting. I enjoyed the book, I would like to read more of the series, I can see the parallel to Exodus, but I didn't think it was very well written. Thank you for writing!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01889374288865862034noreply@blogger.com
