I really appreciate how you dig into sources and help bring facets of Biblical stories into the light. I think many of us,when reading the scriptures, rely on the translators and our interpretations without seeking full understanding. We have not been taught how to dig, how to wonder and how to argue respectfully with one another about these texts. The Jewish people argued over scriptures and meanings. We might do well to return to that method of learning, because much new knowledge has been uncovered and is available to review…if you know where to look.
About a months ago I subscribed to your Substack rather than simply following it because I appreciate the insights you give. Unfortunately, the posts disappeared from my Substack inbox and I do not know where to find your posts as a subscriber. I’ve checked my email as well. I do enjoy reading your journal. Please help me figure out what happened.

So good, bringing humanity to a story religion butchered. Thank you
