And that seems to be jiving more with the way you view how the Old Testament was written.
19:41
Very much so.
19:41
It's Richard Elliott Friedman, who wrote The Bible, where he, he focuses on Torah, but it's th- that's, the principle is the same throughout.
19:48
But I, it...
19:49
See, I, I really try to impress upon my students, for example, that it's not just that the Bible was written at different times.
19:58
It was written under very different circumstances.
20:03
And, and it's those circumstances and those experiences of people that drive them to think differently about this God that's a part of their tradition.
23:29
Right.
15:45
So Peter, how about you walk us through what we're looking at in this graph?
15:49
Great.
15:50
So what we have is we're looking at on the X axis, so horizontally, the preferences of the lowest income group.
15:58
And so as it goes to the right, there's more support among the low income group.
16:03
And on the left, there's less support.
16:06
And then the vertical axis, the Y axis, is the probability of this policy change happening.
16:13
And so this is plotting... policy responsiveness to the preferences of the low-income group.
