Codes of the Hebrew Bible (Spring/Summer 2024)

In this essay I pick up the thread I left hanging in the first part of this series on reading the codes of the Hebrew Bible (Fall/Winter 2023-24). My study is based on Edward Feld’s writing: “The Book of Revolutions—the Battles of Priests, Prophets, and Kings that Birthed the Torah.”

Codes of the Hebrew Bible, part III (Fall/Winter 2024)

The third part of this series on biblical codes focuses on the Holiness Code. This code originated among the exiled community deported deep into the Babylonian empire. In the previous articles we looked at the Covenant Code and the Deuteronomic Code (Fall/Winter 2023 and Spring/Summer 2024). The series is based upon the scholarship of Edward Feld and his remarkable book, “The Book of Revolutions; the Battles of Priests, Prophets and Kings, that Birthed the Torah.”
