Today on the Stone Chapel Podcast, one of my favorite rabbis, Rabbi Steven Bob. We became acquainted when I taught at Wheaton College. After decades of working on and becoming an expert on Jonah, he has now turned his attention to the books of Ezra & Nehemiah. Largely forgotten by Christians and Jews, these two texts tell the story of how Judaism began. That is, the Judaism we know today. Rabbi Bob has written a terrific book When Judaism Began, Exploring the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah.

Maggie Mae Motl is writing an interesting dissertation at the University of St. Andrews (Scotland). She is exploring Paul's letter to the Romans to see what the apostle had to say about masculinity. In secular culture these days masculinity is often criticized and branded "toxic." Is there a right way, a biblical way of thinking about it. That is Motl's project. We look forward to reading it one day when it is published.

Dr. Peter Lillback joins David Capes on The Stone Chapel Podcast to talk about George Washington. He has written an important book entitled George Washington's Sacred Fire. He tackles the historical question: Was George Washington a Deist? A good historian will not answer that question until he/she has read everything Washington ever wrote or said. Beyond that, the historian will want to hear from everyone who had first-hand knowledge of Washington. That is what Lillback did. So what's the answer? Listen and see.
