I noticed when I read The Bible through for the very 1st time:
•Similarities between the laws and practices in American society
•Names (Mary, Joseph…) from our nation and that of others -present as well
•I noticed in the seventies, after the series roots came out – That people were veering away from Christian names towards more cultural, more ethnic names.
•My Grammy would say “eh” and so it is in the Bible -certainly in “The Poem of the Man-God”
