  • March 2, 2021 Interview !!!

    The March 2, 2021 interview with David Stavrou regarding his new book “The Israeli Diaspora in Europe” was terrific! His research into those Israeli Jews who have transitioned from Israel to Europe was really insightful. So many great questions presented by host! Kudos on this wonderful podcast and I’m looking forward to hearing more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Encore - Shai Lavi, "Bioethics and Biopolitics in Israel: Socio-legal, Political and Empirical Analysis" (Cambridge UP, 2019)
Q: How did you come to write Bioethics and Biopolitics in Israel?
It began as a collaborative project among colleagues, formed a research group, and developed into a collected volume that examined bioethics in Israel through cultural and political lenses rather than abstract philosophy.
Encore - Shai Lavi, "Bioethics and Biopolitics in Israel: Socio-legal, Political and Empirical Analysis" (Cambridge UP, 2019)
Q: And what inspired you to a life of scholarship?
I grew up with a strong interest in philosophy and social issues, pursued diverse disciplines like law, sociology, and philosophy, and was drawn to questions at the intersection of politics, religion, culture, and bioethics.
Kyle H. Keimer and George A. Pierce eds., "The Ancient Israelite World" (Routledge, 2024)
Q: How would you introduce this book and its main contribution to the study of Ancient Israel?
The book brings together archaeological, epigraphic, and textual studies to illuminate how scribal practice and the emergence of state structures interacted with the production of biblical texts, with a focus on how modes of writing reflect social and political realities of the Iron Age.
Donniel Hartman, "Who Are the Jews—And Who Can We Become?" (Jewish Publication Society, 2023)
Q: What should readers walk away with from this book?
Hartman emphasizes that embracing both Genesis and Exodus provides a nuanced vision that enriches Jewish life and fosters a continued relationship with Israel and Jewish continuity.
Christopher D. Stanley, "A Ram for Mars" (NFB Publishing, 2026)
Q: What are you working on now and what should listeners watch for in the future?
The author plans continued fiction projects, possibly shifting to a different historical sphere like colonial history or even speculative non-fiction, while also pursuing academic work on ethnic conflict in the Greco-Roman world and a popular book arguing about misread scripture shaping Christian belief.
