I didn't know when I randomly drafted the degree proposal two December's ago (when I should have been grading finals, instead) how much work I was creating for myself when I sent it to admin. But I am so exceedingly happy for this new (and desperately needed) program!!

America is not the new Israel, but we sure are acting more and more like Ancient Israel as they drew closer and closer to their exile and further and further away from God.

I was tempted by the alternative purchase gift - the WBC socks. But I only saw the green NT version. If they had the blue OT version, I would have definitely picked the socks. Well, that's not true, I would have gotten both since the book/mug design is so well-done.

Yup! My future is strong with IBR. It and SBL are a breath of fresh air following ETS. I do still have a small shred of hope that ETS could improve, but it shrinks every year. :(

Yes!
(I was going to post a gif of excitement in response...but it felt wrong to post a happy animation in response to a comment about the Levitie's concubine, trauma, and religious corruption... But, nonetheless, I'm excited to see what you could reveal with such a study!)

I agree. I can't quite figure out why, but it reminds me of a good book that I read recently. 🙂

I'm not surprised at all. Not at all. The gender issue tends to be an obvious issue (at least for me, it is) - but it's not just that. There are many more factors to the differences between the conferences. Many.

I completely understand. I came so very close to walking away after this year. So very very close...
Conversations in my subject area aren't much better. Everyone seems content to teach and talk about Hebrew the same way they always have...even when the problems are pointed out.

After skimming the book I also immediately submitted a request to my school's library strongly urging them to get this book sooner rather than later. I'm not saying something because I constantly forget to request the library purchase books that they need to have.

An intentional approach of not caving to "good English" when seeking to understand Hebrew is refreshing. I do this in my classes. When a stu' asks if X can be translated as Y, I focus on what the Hebrew is doing, not good English...English is just a necessary evil when talking about Hbw.
