Quote:He opines that feudalism wasn't inherent in Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. It's as if such writers are refusing to recognize that Hebrew society was feudal, and that God's revelation was also feudal.
Do you think this error is just a matter of language? ANE feudalism isn't explicit in scripture, though it's demonstrated in not so many words throughout. Scholars would be aware of it, but someone like BM may not be.
EDIT: I mean "Biblical scholar" when I said "scholar." BM seems to be an academic but I don't know if Biblical history or the like is his expertise.
