Interpreting Babel from Old and New Angles -- Most people are familiar with the Tower of Babel story from Genesis, or at least they think they are. But what most people fail to realize is that they only know the Christian interpretation of the story, an interpretation shaped by the Christian interpretation of Gen 1-10, which sees "The Fall" in its Fall. But how do the ancient rabbis and postmodern commentators see the story? What do they make of the tumbling of the tower? What is the meaning of its Fall without The Fall? How do they hear the confusion of language? And how can we as UUs appreciate all of these interpretations without being left with nothing more than a confusion of language?
