  • God, Angels, and Iconography

    God, Angels, and Iconography
    Sep 1 2023

    Dr. Taylor Gray is an associate faculty member and the professor of a recently released course at IBC called Divine Imagery in the Biblical World. This week we discuss what we can learn from iconography from the ancient world, and how these pieces of art may enhance the way we read the Bible. What changes to our picture of cherubim and seraphim? There are also challenges including the pottery with pictures and writing that refer to YHWH and his Asherah. What was going on in ancient Israelite society?

  • Fluidity of the Divine

    Fluidity of the Divine
    Aug 18 2023

    Part 2 of the conversation between Dr. Benjamin Sommer and Dr. Yeshaya Gruber explores the idea of if the Israelites thought of God had fluidity like the polytheists thought their gods had. Perhaps different authors had differing views? What do we gain by exploring the ancient views of the body or form of the Divine?

excellent Bible topics

Great in depth study of the Holy Bible from the Jewish perspective. Going back to the Hebrew roots of the text.
