A Thought on Leviticus 16:13
Byhenry June 8, 2009
I was struck by the wording of Leviticus 16:13 tody. There is a long list of instructions, followed by the clause “that he may not die.” It’s just 2 words in Hebrew. It seems to me that the Israelites approached the issue of God’s judgment against them very differently than we do. Rather than seeing…

Kenny Pearce on Bible Translations
Byhenry February 14, 2007
[Gleaned from the Christian Carnival CLXI, which you should go check out.] Kenny Pearce has written an excellent post on Bible translations. I say “excellent” based on the obvious standard that he agrees with much of what I say! 🙂 He talks about a spectrum of translations using what he calls “a degree of literalness.”…

Following a sneering message from the Assyrian king, Hezekiah, at the beginning of chapter 37, tears his clothes, puts on sackcloth, and goes…

On Violence and Suffering
Byhenry March 18, 2015
My friend and Energion author Allan Bevere posted this morning on this topic, and I want to call attention to it for several reasons. First, this is a topic I find very interesting. Second, I think it’s appropriate to discuss the problems of violence and suffering together at some points. Third, I don’t think that…
