Ancient Near Eastern Thought and the Old Testament by John Walton
This a very well done book. It really pulled the shades off my eyes considering the Old Testament and the people of that time (I’ll refer to them as ancients from here on out). If you’re interested in understanding more about the context [...]
What would Jesus do is a great question to ask in our lives in this evil age? Recently there was a Hindu clergy member who was invited to say the opening prayer in the United States Senate. He was interupted by shouts by Christians from the viewing gallery who were eventually removed.

In the New Testament, we are presented as God’s new Temple - where his spirit dwells. In the Old Testament God dwelt among his people in the the Tabernacle/Temple. This was a big deal for Israel. It meant that God was close to them, involved with them, and identified with them. [...]
