Controversial scholarly articles on Creation in Genesis 1 (one looking at what the literary structure tells us about the meaning in one article and whether it is meant literally and the other looking at Genesis 1 as if it were a movie in the other), the chiastic structure of the book of Revelation (two articles on how the literary structure influences what happens and explains the apparent repetitions), the misplacement of the "Farewell Discourse" in the Gospel of John (it should be at the end of the book, after the resurrection, and culminating with the ascension), the "Bosom of Abraham" in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus (in 200 A.D. it was seen by the top theologian in Christendom as the region in Hades where the righteous awaited the resurrection), the meaning of "annihilation" in the Bible (dead means dead, not eternal suffering), what Paul meant in refusing women authority and in requiring head coverings (it is badly misunderstood, as we discover when we compare Paul with Peter's restatement of Paul's "confusing" ideas), and alternatives to monogamy allowed in the Old Testament and New Testament, along with a study of what "adultery" meant (married women could have no other men, but both married and unmarried men were allowed to have sex with slave women, prostitutes, sacred prostitutes, widows, and perhaps men who were sacred prostitutes in the temple, while women were allowed to become prostitutes or sacred prostitutes in some instances or have relationships if they were widowed, and apparently to have relationships with each other, as they are not forbidden).
