      For the quarter century I have taught the Steel Seizure case, I have stopped to ask my 2L Con Law students if they know what Justice Jackson is referring to when he cites the difficulty of interpreting Pharaoh’s dreams. No footnote was provided.https://twitter.com/amconmag/status/1215641947768901632 …

      "To live in a Christian culture is to grasp the stories, the symbols, the phrases that tell us who we are. The 'wheat and the chaff' metaphor is something that almost everybody would have understood in, say, 1940." We've lost not just belief but literacy. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/on-not-getting-malick-movie-a-hidden-life/ …

      The trend of students who know the reference has been steadily down, and has hit zero some years. A justice making such a reference today would almost certainly drop a footnote to explain, though perhaps @jadler1969 @RandyEBarnett @JoshMBlackman @DrJohnEastman would disagree.

      As you know HH, I’m 100% atheist. Yet I’m continually astonished by the Biblical illiteracy of my own generation & younger (Incl. professed Xns...) Days ago, I had an editor query my quotation of Prov 29:18–which is chiseled on the front of dozens of public buildings in the US...

      It is simply impossible to understand American civilization w/out a basic knowledge of the Bible. You can hardly read anything written pre-WW2 that isn’t written w/ the assumption that the reader will catch Biblical allusions.

          Having little Biblical knowledge thu Church attendance myself, I'm very familiar w/ the idea of interpreting Pharaoh's dreams, but thru Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (come to think of it, I get a lot of knowledge of the Gospels thru that other Lloyd-Weber musical...)

          Even for those who do, it remains a question as to whether it is interpreted/understood in the same way. I’m not sure broader biblical literacy matters as much when meaning is so contentious.
