Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Avraham Faust and Zev I. Farber, "The Bible’s First Kings: Uncovering the Story of Saul, David, and Solomon" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: How do you distinguish between the historical core and the later literary/theological shaping of the stories about Saul, David, and Solomon?
The hosts and Faust describe a layered approach: biblical scholarship identifies multiple strands, while archaeology and anthropology help synthesize a broader picture, with some stories reflecting later editorial aims rather than strict history.
Avraham Faust and Zev I. Farber, "The Bible’s First Kings: Uncovering the Story of Saul, David, and Solomon" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: Professor Faust, could you briefly introduce your research career and explain how your previous work led you to this book on Saul, David, and Solomon?
Faust explains the evolution of his research from broader Israelite society to the social and anthropological questions that frame the book, highlighting how 10th-century changes across regions informed the discussion of the United Monarchy and its footprints.
Eckart Otto, "Deuteronomy in the Pentateuch and the Hexateuch: Studies of the Literary History of the Pentateuch and the Hexateuch within the Framework of Deuteronomy" (Mohr Siebeck, 2000)
Q: How does the book change the way we study the Pentateuch and its sources?
It shifts the scholarly focus to a diachronic-synchronic synthesis, arguing for a stable, diachronically informed understanding of Deuteronomy's place in the Pentateuch and for interpreting the priestly code in exilic/post-exilic contexts as part of the integrated Pentateuch rather than as a separate Deuteronomistic layer.
Eckart Otto, "Deuteronomy in the Pentateuch and the Hexateuch: Studies of the Literary History of the Pentateuch and the Hexateuch within the Framework of Deuteronomy" (Mohr Siebeck, 2000)
Q: What is the main argument of this book?
The main argument is that Deuteronomy should be read as a central, constitutive part of the Pentateuch and Hexateuch, and that the literary history of Deuteronomy must be understood within the diachronic development of the Pentateuch, rather than as a later Deuteronomistic insertion.
Sarah Rosenson, "Fan Fiction on the Book of Genesis: A Guide to Close Reading of and Creative Writing on the Bible" (Cherry Orchard Books, 2026)
Q: What does the discussion of Noah's obedience vs. questioning God reveal about human ethics and divine justice?
Rosenson points out that Noah's obedience is juxtaposed with questions about repentance and the fate of infants, highlighting ongoing ethical tension and the complexity of righteous action within a divine plan.
