If God made Solomon the wisest man who ever lived, then why did he act like such an idiot? Dante tries to reconcile the wisdom of Solomon with the Kings insane paganism.

What exactly does the Bible define as gossip; talking behind someone's back? One might come to that conclusion looking at Jesus' life and ministry, but the apostle Paul knows this guy... a guy he likes to call Alexander the coppersmith...

Do differences in the personalities of the New Testament writers echo a fundamental difference in theology? Dante loses his mind and starts looking for reasons to insult Calvinism. Fun times for all!

Sometimes a dissonance arises between what we say we believe and what it actually turns out we truly hold as true. This week, Dante goes through a self-reckoning in dealing with his doubts about prayer.

When the Israelites were scouting out Jericho, the prostitute Rahab hid them and lied to keep them safe. God blessed her for doing this... so does that give us license to lie sometimes?
