Menasseh and the Modern Idols (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As king of Judah, Menasse introduces a long series of strange rituals: high places, altars to Baal, child sacrifices, divination, and an idol in the temple itself. The Bible lists these sins as a series of violations of specific commandments from the Torah. But behind every prohibition lies a deeper motive. Each practice undermines the way people treat one another. It turns children into tools, women into means of production, and neighbors into distrustful strangers. This essay shows how those a
Reaffirming the Covenant: Moses, Joshua, Samuel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The three texts — Deuteronomy 29, Joshua 24, and 1 Samuel 12 — are often read as a single recurring motif: a leader who, on the threshold of death, seals the covenant with his people one last time. In fact, this pattern only holds for Moses and Joshua.

From that moment on, stricter standards
Judaism and the New Testament on Marriage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I confront the criticism of the New Testament view of marriage, I notice how it does not unfold as a diffuse landscape of scattered objections, but rather coalesces into four persistent questions that both stimulate and challenge my own theological intuition. Amid the tension between ancient norms and modern sensibilities, a debate unfolds that is more than a clash of eras: it touches on the way we understand text, tradition, and human relationships. Precisely for this reason, this four-par
