Are we at Part 7 already? Hopefully, this will be my next to last post on Kipp Davis’ book, God’s Propaganda. By now, I think I’ve emphasized enough what lies at the root of my criticism of many of Davis’ claims. On a lot of specific observations, we agree, but where he and I radically…
Welcome back, boys and girls! We have now come to Part 6 in our look at Kipp Davis’ God’s Propaganda: Pulling Back the Curtain on What the Bible Wants You to See. In this post, we will try to bite off the next two chapters in Davis’ book. Chapter 11: PropagandaAfter giving his own “origin…
We continue on in our look at Kipp Davis’ God’s Propaganda: Pulling Back the Curtain on What the Bible Wants You to See. Chapter 8: Knowledge, Sex and DeathChapter 8 is really all about Adam and Eve in Genesis 2-3. Davis characterizes these chapters, along with Genesis 1-11 as a whole, as an “anti-urban polemic”…
Here we come to the next two chapters in the second section of Kipp Davis’ God’s Propaganda: Pulling Back the Curtain on What the Bible Wants You to See. We will be looking at Chapter 7, “Cosmos” and Chapter 8, “Knowledge, Sex and Death.” Let’s jump in. Chapter 7: CosmosChapter 7 primarily deals with the…

The only thing I felt worth critiquing was Davis’ take on…
Welcome to Part 2 of my book analysis of Kipp Davis’ God’s Propaganda: Pulling Back the Curtain on What the Bible Wants You to See. Without further ado, let’s just jump into Part 1 of his book, The Known World, which consists of four chapters. First, a brief summary of each chapter. Chapter 1: From…
Earlier this month, an online friend texted me and, in light of my book analysis of Dan McClellan’s The Bible Says So a few months ago, asked me if I was going to do a book analysis of Kipp Davis’ new book, God’s Propaganda. Because I tend to be a glutton for punishment, I couldn’t…
Over the past five days since Charlie Kirk was assassinated, on one hand, it has been very encouraging to see the outpouring of support and sympathy for Kirk and the firm condemnation for the assassination itself, as well as those who were applauding it. Celebrities, athletes, the constant stream of posts online, as well as…
Last week, someone left a comment on one of my posts from a few years ago about Richard Dawkins that I should talk to Alex O’Connor. It was meant as a compliment. This person was impressed with my comments about Richard Dawkins, so he was basically saying he’d like to see me interact with the…
This year I am teaching American Literature to 11th graders. Personally, I’m not a fan of the textbook. For being an American Literature textbook, there are quite a few really famous and influential American authors that hardly get mentioned. No William Faulkner, no Flannery O’Connor, only one obscure short story from Hemingway, absolutely nothing from…
