I just started reading the new book by my friend @collincornell.bsky.social (name drop!) He thoroughly critiques a model that never really resonated with me - reading the Bible like an unfolding start-to-finish drama - and presents a non-linearized "geometric" concept. Worth a read!

Hey corporate America, this is what you want? If he decides he doesn’t like the name “Goldman Sachs” will you change it? What about law firm names? Suppose Trump wants you to drop the names of certain founding partners?
When is it enough?

Pretty interesting to read about other historical periods when Christianity became a tool of the state (or the Empire) in service of advancing the state (or Empire).

""God” then was not a one-sized-fits-all category either within or across cultures. The prototypical anthropomorphic masters of the universe certainly qualify as deities but so do a host of other things that today we might hesitate to call animate, let alone divine."

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

BREAKING @prri.org poll.
My disturbing take: It’s virtually impossible to write a survey question about the treatment of immigrants that is too brutal for Republicans to support.
1) 8 in 10 Republicans support renditions of immigrants to foreign prisons without due process.

I think it is an important thing for a translator to clearly note. For example, when trying to understand the source/context of the household codes in chapter 5 or the spiritual forces section in chapter 6.

How much trouble could have been avoided if this framework for reading scripture had been taken more seriously. Don't assume every story, good, bad, or ugly, is a literal record or is intended to be taken literally.
