I’ve been through three years of seminary and in second year of masters, and never had this perspective presented. Part of that’s on me because (clearly) I need to read wider but we definitely have a problem with the ‘rubble’ and it is robbing so many of the depths of scripture. This is refreshing and encouraging. Thanks Scot.

I cannot but remember how perfectly shamed I felt when reading Levine’s work a few years ago. There were so many other, and more sufficient, suppositions to her having had 5 husbands and living with one who is not, but one need not consider another when sultry slut is on the table. It says far more about me and all of us who accepted that without much consideration than it ever said about her. However, I agree that her name needs redeeming, and we need repenting.

The tie back to Nathanael! It’s right there, but I had never seen it. This has planted some seeds in my brain. Thank you.
