The Seba library treats Lot in 6 passages, across 5 authors (including Richard Sorabji, Shaw, Mark E., Beekes, Robert).
Appeal to the lot of others is a frequent recipe in consolation... By inviting him to find three subjects who had suffered nothing similar, he conveyed the message, 'You are not the only one'.

Genesis 19:30-36 records what happened to Lot after he and his family left the burning cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. Because Lot was righteous in the sight of God, he and his family were spared.

In contrast to what Zorgdrager asserts... Lot-Borodine says that all heresy inspired in her an 'instinctive mistrust', and the whiff of Gnosticism she detects in Solov'ev and Bulgakov does not seem to be something she shares.
