From the chapter on “hysteria”: None other than Charles Darwin mused that women were best appreciated as “[an] object to be beloved and played with—better than a dog anyhow.”
😳

It really captures how technology enables today’s autocrats to work together, supporting one another in the face of challenges from within and outside their own states. So much that I recognize😬

Finishing the study tomorrow. Wenham’s text is a classic!

I want all Biblical Studies books to be like this.

Husbands should read this now—before their wives ever enter a doctor’s office. Sooo shocking (for men; women are well aware of the prevalence of shoddy if not inappropriate medical care), sooo interesting. An excellent read so far

8 more chapters to go in our study!

Savoring…

Easy violence, the casual dehumanization, how and why are these parts of the national psyche?

You cannot escape history

There is no escaping history😞

Fantastic, enlightening, inspiring biblical theology. Makes me want to PREACH!

Soooooo gooooood…

“The fundamental contradiction at the root of American democracy is, on the one hand, the promise that all are created equal, but then, on the other, the practice of excluding wide swaths of humanity.”

Witty and clever—like the smirking child of a hushed-up affair between Agatha Christie and P. G. Woodhouse

Soooooo good. Places Leviticus close to the center of redemptive history

Exceptional. Demonstrates the real value of biblical theology, revealing the gospel centrality of a text often dismissed as intimidating and alienating.

Every thinking Christian should read this. Certainly every Christian college should integrate this material throughout its curriculum. Watkins consolidates things I have learned from a host of teachers and shelves worth of books in one place, presenting a truly biblical worldview that is in the world while remaining distinctly not of this world. Readable, fascinating, essential.
