I’ve been enjoying
immensely your online lecture series on The Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories. Hearing you reframe these familiar truths and ancient tropes in the terminology
of psychology and mythology — and occasionally in plain secular language, rather
than religiously and liturgically — has lit up the OT landscape for me in a
new way. As you mentioned in your fourth lecture, a hypothesis that works itself
out in human experience on multiple levels is that much more likely to
represent the real state of things.

This Is Interesting ...
The giving of the Ten Commandments to Israel at Mount Sinai occurred on the
third new moon after the people of Israel had left Egypt. God addressed them directly in a thick cloud from the peak of a fiery, quaking mountain amid thunder, flashes of lightning
and the sound of a trumpet.
The people were understandably petrified.
