The other day I received an e-mail from someone named Hugh Mann. He asked me to have a look at his website. You can say what you want about what he writes, but he certainly has an original view on the phrase 'the land of milk and honey'. His theories make me raise my eyebrows, but because he asked it so nicely I decided to post a once-only reference to the milk-and-honey page on his site anyway.
