In the 52 Sundays of 2023, and the 17 Sundays of 2024, I've written 69 "Sunday essays" on some topic raised by this blog in the Old Testament. Here is a list and date of those essays.
I break the studies up into roughly five categories:
(1) summaries or exposition on a book of the Old Testament,
(2) studies on certain Hebrew words
(3) studies on the culture of the ancient Near East (ANE),
(4) certain characteristics of Hebrew writing,
and, of course
(5) Miscellaneous (a catch-all)
