It’s pretty sweet in that the field list can be arbitrarily deep and it is not tied to a specific object type.
As I was trying to solve a specific problem, there are several limitations: Read the rest of this entry »

The past two weeks have looked at the bigger context of Christ’s birth, with two major prophesies in Genesis 3 and Isaiah 7.
