  2. A tower named after an unknown individual in Iron Age Jerusalem. An Iron Age song celebrating Ammon's triumph over Moab. A royal seal from an unknown queen. Discrepancies in the chronology of 2 Kings. What does it all add up to? Check out my latest article for an interesting theory by the late Orientalist Giovanni Garbini.

  3. From the archives: How historically accurate is the tale of Paul's sea voyage and shipwreck described in Acts 27? In this article, I delve into the text of Acts, the weather conditions of the Mediterranean, and the theology of shipwrecks in ancient belief to uncover the story's true intent.

  4. The seer Balaam in the book of Numbers was also known outside the BIble. Who was he, and what's the deal with his talking donkey? Check out my new video, where I outline Balaam's strange journey through history and tradition.

  6. New article: Israelite Divination and the Mysterious Teraphim

    I briefly address the passages in the Bible that mention teraphim and discuss what these sacred objects were before moving on to the topic of Israelite divination.

  7. I have a new article up where I look into the origins of the parable of the Sower in Mark 4. The entire chapter draws upon a rich heritage of parables found in the Old Testament and Jewish apocalyptic literature, but there are parallels in the Pauline epistles as well. #Bible #Christianity #parables #deconstruction #HigherCriticism #religion

  8. I have a new video essay up. This time, it's about the murder that Israelite queen Jezebel is accused of in 1 Kings 21. A close look at the text’s inconsistencies and conflicting accounts of the incident cast doubt on her guilt.

  13. Ben Wallis has made a great video responding to the claim by Inspiring Philosophy that the Long Day story in Joshua 10 did not mean to portray the sun as stopping in the sky. It's well researched and full of relevant citations by prominent Bible scholars.
