We are so freaking back. We're joined by Seattle University professor emeritus Wes Howard-Brook, author of works like Come Out My People: God's Call Out of Empire in the Bible and Beyond, to discuss: King Solomon wasn't actually all that wise … … and the cutting-a-baby story isn't about what a great guy he was. In fact, the Bible's authors meant for us to view Solomon as just another Exodus pharaoh! How the David-Solomon story is The Godfather. And a whole bunch of other stuff about the Bible's overarching theme of love vs. imperialism. Thank you for listening!
