I’m really behind on my news podcasts and right now I’m learning about Cracker Barrel changing their logo. I hope there’s not much happening in the news between then and now!

Learning that Jame Goodall passed away is making me far more sad than I’d think it would. So sad, but so grateful for the work she’s done!

Ellen Davis’s β€œOpening Israel’s Scriptures” is a thoughtful, educational, and easy-to-read introduction to the OT/HB, split up into short essays about each book of the Bible, and should be a must-read for anyone starting to study the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament #OldTestament #HebrewBible #Bible

This is "Jonah and the Whale", Folio Probably from a Jami al-Tavarikh (Compendium of Chronicles), depicting the Islamic story of prophet Jonah/Yunus and the fish. How does this piece of art represent a uniquely Islamic view of this story?
