Reilgious Scholarship Series
I’m starting a new blog series that hopefully gets published at least once a week. The only other series I do is Saturday Beats at Double Consciousness which focuses on poetry and other writings that are written by the San Francisco Bay Area’s incarcerate male and female youth, whose voices are rarely heard. I get their writings from the wonderful (FREE) magazine called The Beat Within.
With this series I hope to highlight interesting articles, mainly on Near Eastern and Mediterranean religions (as those are the religions which I study), from scholarly and semi-scholarly journals on ancient religion, archeology, and as well as contemporary religion and religious issues.
I (hopefully) want to blend a mixture of archeology, sociology, history, hermeneutics, philogy, systematic theology, and other genres that relate to the religious studies world. I will include a short excerpt, a link to the text (more than likely you will have to go to your local library to actually read the article), and some short commentary.
My first post will be about a recent article from the magazine Biblical Archeology Review on the the Israelite god yhwh (Yahweh, also known as the Lord our God in the Christian and Hebrew religious texts) and his goddess wife ashrh (Aherah).
