One of the principal theological themes of the Hebrew Bible is the relationship between Israel and God. At the heart of this bond is the supernatural experience at Sinai. The Torah focuses on the uniqueness of God and His relationship with the people of Israel.

Israelite identity and in later centuries Jewish identity was also expressed in terms of ethnicity and...

For 2000 years the oldest writings that mankind has had to explain his history were those in the Bible. In 1849 the first 30k cuneiform tablets were unearthed in Nineveh, Iraq and were undeciphered for almost a century. This information is still just trickling out to the public. The Hebrews were from Sumer and the Sumerian Tablets are the lost history of the Hebrews where Genesis is taken from. Genesis is a vague summary of the much older and more detailed Sumerian Tablets. Join me as I travel through my life from early childhood being introduced to my Christian faith and the questions I ...
