God's care for the poor leaps off every page of the Torah. He provides for material needs while ensuring the dignity of full community inclusion and participation. What a great challenge and model for us today! https://t.co/RzwgEpmpnp

Grateful to sit down w/ Dr. Stephen Dempster to discuss his book, The Return of the Kingdom: A Biblical Theology of God's Reign. Dr. D provides a master class on how the Old Testament shapes our vision of the new. Enjoy! @ivpress@ivpacademic@CrandallU

Long before Mandalorians, Christians were people of The Way. Dr. Ross Harmon sits down to discuss the Old Testament background to this important New Testament metaphor, including how Christians can still follow the Way. @RossDHarmon@MBTS@wipfandstock

Chart is taken from pg 61 of The Charge of God's Royal Children. The Charge of God's Royal Children: A Narrative Analysis of the Imago Dei in Genesis 1-11: Howe, Timothy: 9798385209699: https://t.co/doWk1m4YMn: Books
Genesis 1 displays artistry on multiple levels. Even as God's creative acts are different each day, each day is literarily unique. This chart identifies the structural distinctions of each day of creation, all leading to the Shalom and Sabbath of Day 7.
How should Christians wrestle with violent texts in the Old Testament? Can these texts still teach us about God?
Check out this conversation w/ @MattLynch_OT about his book Flood and Fury: OT Violence and the Shalom of God. @regentcollege@ivpacademic

"Kingdom of Priests" and "Holy Nation." What did these categories mean for Israel, and what do they mean for us? This is the topic on this week's episode of In With the Old, where I take a look at Exodus 19:3-6.

Dr. Vaillancourt concludes his In With the Old interview with discussions on Gentiles in the Old Testament, the unique role of prophets, and the Old Testament's mournful yet hopeful ending. Thank you, Dr. Vaillancourt! @heritagecs@ivpacademic

Was Bathsheba guilty? The text never implicates her; God chose to graft her into the kingly line even though David had other wives/sons. What do you think?

Dr. Ian Vaillancourt treats this text with scholarly care and candor while giving us a behind the scenes look at how peer review helped him sharpen his understanding of the text.
The story of David and Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11 is one of the most famous (or infamous) stories in the Bible. But how, exactly, should we define David's sin? How does the text portray Bathsheba's involvement and responsibility?

Dr. Vaillancourt was kind enough to give us some background information about the peer review process and how scholars benefit from having other eyes on their work. I hope this will bless many!
Thankful to sit down with Dr. Ian Vaillancourt to discuss his new book, Unfolding Redemption. We talked about typology, violence, the Davidic covenant, and the nature of David's sin in 2 Samuel 11, among other topics. @ivpacademic@heritagecs
