I once spoke with Dr. Hyers on the phone. He is a kind-hearted soul who
genuinely feels that the meaning of the Genesis text is undermined by the common
literal interpretation. During our conversation, he explained that contrary to
what his opponents claim, he is a "conservative Christianity" because of his
efforts to conserve the original meaning of the text, whereas his opponents, who
deem themselves as conservatives, are trying to conserve traditional
interpretations.
