The following was first published over on The Anchored Argosy Substack. Within the episode I mention the Davenant Institute’s ongoing modernization of The Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity. I also mention Brad Littlejohn’s introduction to the life and work of Richard Hooker.

Why Mordecai Did Not Bow
Every two or three weeks, Susannah and I will post on our free Substack, The Anchored Argosy. Within our posts, we give an update on our news, share some photos, and provide links to recent things we have produced. In each post, I will also usually share some thoughts on a subject that has been on my mind over the period. A while back, I wrote a reflection on the question of why Mordecai did not bow to Haman in the book of Esther. I have now recorded an audio form of the reflection which is available on YouTube and on my podcast.
Numbers and the Camp of Israel (with Michael Morales)
Michael Morales is the author of a two-volume commentary on the book of Numbers in the Apollos Old Testament Commentary series. The first volume, on chapters 1-19, has been released. The second volume, on chapters 20-36, is forthcoming. He joins me for a discussion of the war camp of Israel in the opening chapters of the book.
We discuss the importance of the war camp within the theology of Numbers and Scripture more generally, the place of Numbers in the Pentateuch, the symbolism of the camp, and much, much more!
