A critical review of the article by Margaret Barker: �Where shall wisdom be found?�<p> <p> The first article examines the golden calf incident, which was based on forbidden cherubim worship. The apostle Paul condemned the golden calf incident in Romans 1.The next one examines the vision in Zechariah 5 is about the destruction of a �house� (the temple)and the removal of iniquity from the land of Israel to the land of Shinar.The iniquity that had been removed would return from Shinar at some time in the future and contaminate the nation again. The third, is an examination of the Israeli security fence from a Biblical perspective; an analysis of the misuse of power.The fourth article is a critique of Tovia Singer's article on Original sin; "How could the authors of the New Testament reasonably insist that man�s dire condition was hopeless if the Torah unambiguously declared that man possessed an extraordinary ability to remain faithful to God?" The subject of the fifth article is soteriology and atonement theory; atonement theology offers no satisfaction, either to God, or to man � all the theories; ransom, penal substitution and moral exemplar are deficient. The last article is a critical review of the article on wisdom by Margaret Barker; according to Barker wisdom, portrayed as the female element in this literature, indicates the earlier belief in a female consort (goddess) alongside YHWH, as do the Isaiah virgin prophecies</p>
