Scope of Biblical Criticism & History
This forum embraces all historical and exegetical issues concerning the Bible, its antecedents, and its descendants. Islam is a major descendant in the Abrahamic tradition, as is Mormonism. An antecedent would be Zoroastrianism. Discussion of non-Abrahamic religion and philosophy (including history of those faiths) belongs in the forum moderated by Grizzly. Discussions of theological/atheological points belong in General Religious Discussions.
See also the Forum Rules and Policies (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?threadid=42034) for IIDB. In addition, allegations about sock puppetry will be deleted on sight. The moderators do not run an identification verification service. For this and any other questions about moderator policy, post to Bugs, Problems, & Complaints (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/forumdisplay.php?forumid=16).
