I had DEFINITELY heard of the Torah before the podcast but had no idea it was a name for only 1 section of the Hebrew Bible. #tanakh #torah #hebrewbible #oldtestament #judaism

Religious Book Recommendation!! And oldie but a goodie: Amy-Jill Levine’s “Short Stories by Jesus” offers a fascinating perspective on parables as told by Jesus. Check it out for a good read!
