"Like many lax but well-educated Jews (and Christians), I have long assumed I knew what was in the Bible—more or less. [...] So, the tale of Dinah unsettled me, to say the least. If this story was strutting cheerfully through the back half of Genesis, what else had I forgotten or never learned? I decided I would, for the first time as an adult, read the Bible. And I would blog about it as I went along." This is VERY much better than you might think, especially given that it's in a publication which continues to give time to that vile drunkard Hitchens.
