@abbyholcombe1@abbyholcombe1 Can you shout in thunder the way I can? Go ahead, show your stuff. Show me what you’re made of! Unleash your outrage. I’ll happily step aside and hand things over to you. You can save yourself from the wicked with no help from me. Job 40:11,14 #GodAttack#JobvGod
@AnummaBrooke You let corrupt people rule the world and people who have no moral ethics be the judges of everything. If you're not responsible for this mess, who is? Job 9:24 #JobAttack#JobvGod
Isaiah emphasizes social justice over ritual observance (Isa 58:6-9) and Jeremiah praises King Josiah for doing “justice and righteousness” for the cause of “the poor and needy” (Jeremiah 22:15-16). #NotAllProphets#bibhb500
There is a perception that the Hebrew Bible Prophets pursued strictly religious missions. #NotAllProphets were only concerned about religious matters. Many were social justice seekers and even criticized Israelite law. #bibhb500
Amos 5 criticizes wealth that exploits the poor, specifically amongst the creditor class that justified their wealth legalistically (Prophecy B lecture). "Let justice roll down like waters" (Amos 5:24) #NotAllProphets#bibhb500
The social model of desert nomads taking over the settled land doesn’t add up, as it doesn’t line with the time of the people who were likely agriculturalists nor of actual desert nomads who like the lifestyle and are not a threat to civilizations. #RapidConquestModel#bibhb500
Albright and G.E. Wright offer the Rapid Conquest Model as explanation for the emergence of Israel. Joshua 1-12 is the privileged passage here, showcasing the conquest of the land of Canaan and a plethora of conflicting stories. #RapidConquestModel#bibhb500
Joshua showed up late to fight the battle of Jericho…the walls had already tumbled down 3 centuries earlier…likely in an earthquake. Who’s going to rewrite the song now? #RapidConquestModel#bibhb500
"Democracy will be undone by White Supremacy!" -Eleanor Roosevelt/ @rkainmdiv Is rejecting white supremacy only a means to protect the "gift" of democracy? Or is democracy the way to keep injustices in check? #bibhb500
