I’ve never taken a summer school class in my life as far as I can remember. Now I’m taking two. German class is getting close to conclusion, and this week I’m auditing a course on Messianic Prophecy, M-F 8-5.
While I’m in class, my friend Danny is spending his life in the library (which happens to be one of the 50 strangest buildings in the world – see #48), and he came across this nugget in a published book. This quotation is reproduced exactly as in the original. The subject is the land of the Philistines.
