        We've debated the interpretation of early Gen. before & there's probably no
point in rehasing that. But I must take exception to your last sentence as a general
statement about theologians. It depends a lot on what "box" you're talking about. I
suppose you can draw one that encompasses the views of significant theologians & then
say they never think outside it but that's pretty artificial. & in reply one might say
something about those who are unable to think outside the box of concordism.
