..."The Nestorians and their Muslim Neighbors"

In a daring article entitled "Assyriology and the Bible", a well-known Unitarian clergyman wrote that the story of the Fall of Man was "simply an importation from Assyrian into Palestine and as utterly fabulous as the theology which was built on it." He delved into psychoanalysis to explain that "as one often remembers the stories with which his nurse frightened him in infancy, so humanity recalls today the cradle stories which it learned far away 'between the rivers' of the East. What is yet stranger, it still believes in them(5)."

(5) S. J. Barrows, "Assyriology and the Bible," Unitarian Review and Religious Magazine, 12 (1879), 46-47

Any typos are mine and not Dr. Joseph's...

I hope you have enjoyed this installment. I had to drive 45 minutes just to check out this book from the library, and since I'm not a student at U of M, I had to ask a friend to check it out for me.
