Kingship and Covenant: Reconsidering the Oath of David and Jonathan

Sophia RC Johnson is a PhD Candidate in Hebrew Bible at Cambridge University. We begin by discussing the thesis of her article in the December 2022 issue of The Journal of Biblical Literature. I follow her lead and my curiosity from there.

Her recommendation for listeners is Yonatan Adler's The Origins of Judaism: An Archaeological-Historical Reappraisal (https://tinyurl.com/yjr7j8dw).

This episode also serves as an introduction to the origin and philosophy of this podcast.
