All that is valid now is what was written and spoken post-James Barr, according to the Mr. Tomes’ insight.

This is exactly the point I have tried to make about Tomes' conclusions.
Since Tomes so highly values the most recent Christian scholarship, and dismisses much of what the body of Christ would consider time-tested classics, he really does himself a disservice. By critiquing Lee, he has just shot himself in the foot, undermining whatever credibility he has acquired through all his previous papers.
