I just received a FOI request for any content warnings on my unit on Ancient Israel and if so, reasons why. I was happy to oblige with my honest response that I don't have any content warnings on any of my units. The Bible doesn't require a content warning or a trigger warning.

My interview with Neal Sendlak, over at Gonstic Informant, is now on Youtube.

It was a really enjoyable discussion about my new book, Between Yahwism and Judaism.

Links to the video and to the book (free to download for a limited time!) in the first comment.

On the right, the journal cover is displayed with the text “Journal of Jewish Studies, Vol. LXXVI, No. 2, Autumn 2025.” A navy-blue circle reads “New issue,” and a yellow three pronged symbol is shown in the bottom corner. The background features faint handwritten Hebrew script.

Times change. All you can control is that you have moral integrity anchoring you to truth and goodness. Develop good character. Inner score card, not an outer score card. Not a political score. Not fake internet points. Not the latest academic bandwagon. Build a monument more lasting than bronze.
