YouTube description

Dr. Carmen Imes is an associate professor of Old Testament at Talbot School of Theology and the author of a few books including Bearing God's Name: Why Sinai Still Matters. She releases weekly Torah Tuesday videos on YouTube. We talk about two different debated issues in the OT: 1) what does it mean to “take” (bear) the Lord’s name in vain (hint—it’s not what you think), and 2) Was David’s sin with Bathsheba a consensual affair or something closer to rape.
