Great post! And how intriguing that George is connected to the archangel Michael in connection with his multiple resurrections, but not, I guess, with Michael fighting the Dragon in Revelation?

I preach at a church a few times a year that has a splending etching of Michael fighting the Dragon on its glass doors. I thought of that while reading about George fighting his!

This is the kind of stuff I love! Thank you for weighing all the sides on this. It created at least two dinner time topics for my family. So interesting!

It seems the loudest “academics” are just dilettantes who haven’t a clue. And sadly people take what they say as truth. Look at the so-called biblical scholars of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They have made themselves obsolete by explaining away the divinity of Christ. People don’t die for nice guys who say nice things.
