I like it! Here's a card I made for it:

I really like that image, where did you get it? I totally want to make a version of this with my Photoshop template now cuz that image is awesome (and to try and make it less wordy, lol). If that's okay with you.

Sure.

I just googled "paul's books of the bible" and it was the second picture that showed up.

Scenario: I have a TGT deck. I Play SoG/NJ. I use this on John. I fetch SoG and play it. I use Consider the Lilies and fetch this. I use this on John. I fetch this and play it. I get SoG and play it. I attack with Di Gabriel. I search for CtL. I use CtL and fetch this, use this on John and get SoG. U mad bro?

In short: it needs work. 

The way to stop that could be put an identifier that doesn't allow this card to be Searched, also, it doesn't stop Signet Ring, that's a Restrict not a protect.

I really like this concept, as long as we can't do that crazy SoG combo 

The only problem I foresee is...who wrote what book?  Did Moses write much of the original books of the Torah, as some have suggested?  David wrote many Psalms, but did he write them all?  Who wrote Hebrews?  There are real and unresolved scholarly debates over what book was written by whom.

For a card like this to work, a standard position would have to be taken, and could not be changed later once the card was balanced.  For instance, what if it changed whether we agreed who wrote Genesis?  Well, everything changes then for that deck if anyone wants to use recursion.

In short: Who wrote what book?

But again...really like it

I'd say if there is significant argument on who wrote a book, then we shouldn't give the identifier of having written a book to anyone for that book, much like Caleb doesn't have the giant-slayer identifier since all we know is that he drove out the giants, and not that he necessarily killed them.

I'd say that Psalms and Proverbs wouldn't be included (nor Hebrews) but I have never heard an argument or any idea that the Torah was ever written by anyone else. In fact, there are notes within the Torah that notes that he may have written them and also it is within the Jewish tradition saying that he wrote them, and I'd put that over lots of other sources (such as opinions) but I'd listen to a very credible source (i.e. something like what a Jewish Scribe wrote, or the Bible)

On the Torah, some speculate how much of it he actually wrote, what was already written about the Jewish history before his birth, and then who wrote the final parts of his life.  Did he see what was to happen, and write out the end of his days, or did someone else take over once he died?  I'm just pointing to the fact that we'd have to determine what counts ahead of time and stick with it

probably books written should say "for a good enhancement"  instead of "card"
