Jim West has posted a response to my blog entry by Keith Whitelam in which he makes several allegations against me and defends his own work. I will address this response in more detail but, at this juncture, let me start with a quote to answer Dr. Whitelam's request that I cite sources to substantiate the existence of the problem that I identified. In that very response, Dr. Whitelam writes, "I don't write histories of Israel, vacuous or otherwise, because I don't think it is possible and because I think that the nature of the evidence dictates that we address the process of history differently." I hardly need to proceed beyond this as it encapsulates exactly the hermeneutical tendency that I addressed in my previous blog entry.
