Posted on October 16, 2026 by ehurst

Hebrews 1:5-14

Posted on September 12, 2026 by ehurst

Signs of Systemic Change

Posted on September 8, 2026 by ehurst

Heiser and Leviticus 15

Posted on August 10, 2026 by ehurst

Re: Naked Bible 75: Leviticus 12-15 Last year I was wading through Heiser’s series on Leviticus. I didn’t cover much of it here, but picked out items of special interest. However, since that time, something he said in this particular … Continue reading →
