Divine Council, Ethics, and Resistance in Psalm 82

Psalm 82 is a mythopoeic psalm that is often overlooked as simplistic, confusing, or just out of place. Across more than a century of scholarship, academics have argued for various interpretations of the first verse, proving only that it is easy to get caught up in the mythical mysteries of the ancient concept of divine council. Approaching Psalm 82 as ethical liturgy, however, reveals a deeply sophisticated, prophetic summons to actively embrace justice for the poor, marginalized, and disenfranchised in one's community. This book explores the origins of Psalm 82, its use as liturgy in early Israelite cultic practice, and its reception as resistance literature in the Second Temple period.

On The Path Series Guide 1: Cosmos & Creation

An Ethical Exploration of Creation, Chaos, and Calling in Genesis 1-11

The opening chapters of Genesis invite us into some of the most profound questions of faith: Where do we come from? What does it mean to be made in God’s image? How do we live ethically in a world shaped by both chaos and goodness? In Cosmos & Creation, Dr. Erica Mongé-Greer guides readers through Genesis 1–11, revealing that it is more than an origin story—it is a narrative of creation, uncreation, and re-creation that reveals God’s character and our calling in the world.

So Say We All

Religion, Spirituality, and the Divine in Battlestar Galactica

Battlestar Galactica (BSG) has been praised for its ongoing relevance as a cultural commentary over the past two decades. Fans have explored the science, the politics, and the extraordinary special effects of the series. One theme continues to surface in blogs, podcasts, and convention interviews--BSG's focus on religion. BSG is a series that believes in its religion. In it, the human and Cylon characters face existential crises, do missional work, and attempt to convert one another to religious value systems. So Say We All tells the story of each season with particular focus on the values held by characters in the series, and their individual journeys toward enlightenment. The religious aspects of BSG paint a picture of how religion shapes values of life, free will, and acceptance, and influences how and why people live their lives.
