George Athas on Abraham and Camels or “Camelgate”

There’s been a lot going on the internet about whether the account of domesticated camels in the patriarchal narratives is anachronistic. You can read a good intro piece over at Christianity Today on the subject and Peter Enns also chimes in as well.

In addition, my friend, George Athas (Moore Theological College) has a great piece in ABC Religion and Ethics, on Did the Camel Break the Bible’s Back? Nice Try, but No!

Athas brings some sanity to the whole “camelgate” thing. Its a brief and lucid read on the subject!
