You ask:
> The acid test of a true non-literalist: Do you believe that there is no
> historicity to Genesis 1:1? Does anyone here on the reflector (except Jim
> Foley and Tom Moore) believe that there is no historicity to Genesis 1:1?
My answer:
I like Jim and Tom make no claim for the historicity of this verse.
May I ask:
Is Gen 1:1 in the Hebrew construct state or the absolute state?
Blessings,
Denis
