Like Father, Like Son!

Yahweh, the God of the Old Testament is usually portrayed as an angry, vengeful god who somehow became benevolent in the New Testament with the arrival of his son. Is this an accurate depiction?

The Jubilee Year Liberty

Yahweh's Jubilee Year Liberty laws cover those who fall under harsh times and end up mortgaging off their agricultural land, property or themselves to someone. How do these revolutionary laws weave a safety net for everyone in society?

The Sabbath Year Release

Yahweh’s Sabbath extends far beyond the week, as he decrees a Sabbath Year of rest every seven years. A Sabbatical year every seven years. No food cultivation that year. Then what are people supposed to eat? Also, most types of debts are expected to be canceled that year. What is the intended purpose of that?

The Manna Principle

When Yahweh rains down food from heaven for the Israelites in the wilderness, he gives them specific directions regarding how the Manna should be collected and consumed. Those instructions go against the very fabric of imperial societies, and together they form the tenets of what can be defined as the Manna Principle. What are those tenets?

The Anti-Imperial Yahweh

Yahweh, the God of the Bible, emerges on the world scene by subduing the imperial masters and liberating the Israelites from under the yoke of the Egyptian Empire. He brings them out into the wilderness, where he starts teaching them his ways. In these teachings and commandments we find the true nature of Yahweh, and what he personally deems as a just and fair society. What are some of Yahweh’s flagship teachings that reflect the themes of his thought process on how a model society should function?
