It is too late to defend marriage
Pastors in my denomination are on their own when it comes to marriage. Most do not enter ministry with a well-thought-out theology of marriage. They develop a practice one case at a time as people request them to preside at … Continue reading

Amnon Ben-Tor, an Israeli archeologist who has been leading the dig at Hazor, reports in the latest issue of Biblical Archeology Review. According to Joshua 11, the Israelite leader, Joshua, attacked and burned Hazor as part of the conquest of … Continue reading

Jodi Magness has a chapter on synagogues. Like church, synagogue means an assembly of people. Their meeting place is called a church or synagogue by extension. Archeology looks for the buildings, the meeting places. The fact from this chapter that … Continue reading
