C. S. should have clued in St. Matthew before he could embarrass himself
by writing Matt. 12:40. Perhaps we could make pen and ink changes so
that we can keep others from thinking the Bible was an historical record.
How does this sound? "For as Jonah was [certainly not historically] three
days and three nights in the whales's belly; so shall the Son of man
[certainly not historically] be three days and three nights in the heart
of the earth." Anybody think of any other changes we could make?
