• It would be nice if someone would re-write this page so that it sounds like it was actually about the Hittites rather than an exercise in biblical exegesis. ... Bryant 23:08, 9 Feb 2004 (UTC) Um, Amen to that! I put the biblical POV in a section separate from the archaeology, hoping we could treat part of this as history. ...
• How can the language of the Hattians whose name is responsible for their confusion with the Biblical Hittites, not be relevant to clarifiying the issue of the Hittites? I am honestly baffled by such (appologies my brain isn't letting me find another more appropriate phrase with less negative connotations) willful ignorance. ...
• That whole section is going to disappear in (hopefully) a few days when I finish another project and have time to re-write the whole article to organize it better and establish it on the basis of scholarly results rather than hearsay and biblical legend. ... Back to the points 1) I personally do not believe there is any connection between the Biblical Hittites and the popular Hittites, but the argument that there is a connection like the one currently described in the article is the response people who believe in the connection have given me in the past which is why although I don't believe it I included it to cover all POVs without bias (see Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines). 2) You still have not answered why you wish to offer no info about the Hattians origin despite them being the reason the Nesites (and Hattians) became mistaken as biblical Hittites. ...
• !?! because Hittites & Hattians were originally thought to be the same (confusion of Hattians with the biblical "children of Heth" led to the Nesites becomming known as Hittites) and in the case of many (e. ...
• One day someone discovered a culture north of where the biblical Hittites should have been and the land discoered was called Hatti. People were very excited because it sounded like Heth and so they named these people after tyhe biblical Hittites. ... Once again the Biblical Hittites were unknown. There was also the exciting early indo-european Nesite nation (now commonly but mistakenly known as the biblical hittites) and an obscure aboriginal nation of Hatti who spoke a Hetto-Iberian language. Bible-believers brought a 4th people into the discussion when they insisted that the Akkadian-speaking traders who had been in the area from the earliest times must have been the biblical Hittites and so the debate rages on unto this day. ...
• Did you miss the point that it is because of what we now call Hattians that the Nesites who conquered the area became confused with the Biblical hittites? And how do we know the Nesites and the hattians are not the same? Because Nesite is Indo-European and Hatti is more similar to North caucasian languages than anything else these days. ...
• If there's two to four separate people to whom the name Hittite has been applied, why doesn't this article distinguish between them? Really it should have separate sections for the biblical Hittites and the empire of Suppiluliumas et al. ...
• The "Biblical" Hittites, perceived from the vantagepoint of Israel, were the local representatives of a culture that actually had its capital at Hattusa in north-central modern Turkey. ...
• I think the disputed/confusing statement is this: If there is any connection between these and the Biblical Hittites, they might have been the Akkadian traders centered there later adopting Hattic before the north-western Indoeuropean rulers came to dominate the area. However, there is as of yet little basis for any connection between the Biblical Hittites and the Popular Hittites. ...

• Their interpretations and deductions appeared to them to be really contained in the text; and they wished them to be considered correct Biblical expositions.

•         There is in the institutional church system of today a prevailing spiritual climate of a strong dependency upon figurative or allegorical reinterpretation of selected, and many times randomly selected, passages of the Bible in order to craft a theological argument in order to attempt to prove some non-biblical theory.

• Higher biblical criticism revolutionized Judaism and Christianity by calling into question long held assumptions about the origins of the Bible; some ambitious textual critics are attempting to do the same for the Qur'an. They claim that parts of the Qur'an are based on stories of the Tanakh Hebrew Bible, the New Testament of the Christian Bible and other non-canonical Christian works; differences of the biblical to the Qur'anic versions indicate that these stories were not taken directly from written texts but seem rather to have been part of the oral traditions of the Arab peninsula at Mohammed's time. ...

• "Biblical Text".
• Reading Biblical Texts: .
•     Even if a person is of two minds about the critical study of the Bible, however, the problem of a "literal reading" of biblical material is an issue that is more complicated than might first appear. ...
•     This is a rather simple example, but it illustrates that other decisions about the biblical text are usually required if one is to achieve a sound interpretation of a text. ... Decisions about the genre of biblical material need to be made on a case-by-case basis, and the manner in which this is done will affect the way a "literal reading" is understood. ... Furthermore, all figurative forms of biblical language are by their very nature not literal. ...
•     The upshot of this discussion is that even a "literal reading" of biblical material, understood as a surface reading, necessarily requires that certain prior interpretive decisions be made if an interpretation is to be sound and reliable. The claim that one is engaging in a literal interpretation of biblical texts is not devoid of interpretive judgments, and very often those interpretive judgments can be rendered differently by different people. A so-called "literal reading" of a biblical text is virtually always relative to some other claims about the text, whether that be matters of literary form, literary context, figurative use of language, or divine inspiration. In each case, the face value of the biblical text may not be what it appears to be at first glance. A sound reading of biblical texts, even if one wishes to achieve a literal interpretation, will invariably require interpretive judgments to be made about the nature and meaning of the text, judgments that will govern how the material is in the end understood. ...
•     If a "literal reading" of biblical material is not simply understood in terms of the face value of the text but is also understood to include the intent of the author in writing the text, another interpretive dimension is added. ... To the degree that authorial intent is included in a "literal reading" of biblical texts, interpretive certainty will be difficult to achieve. A "literal reading" in that sense will not stem the tide of multiple interpretations of biblical texts; and it, too, will require that numerous interpretive judgments be made. ...
• But it often goes hand in glove with pleas for the "literal reading" of biblical material. Very often this means that the surface meaning of a biblical text is asserted to be an accurate description of what actually took place. ...
