Currently reading: Bearing God’s Name by Carmen Joy Imes 📚 Currently at the third chapter and enjoying it a lot. Dr. Imes is a very witty writer and has some great insights.

@ChrisJWilson I've been wanting to read this for some time. Let me know what you think. She's an excellent scholar who can explain complicated concepts in a clear manner.

@KyleEssary I think your final sentence is a perfect description. It’s basically a trace of the history of the two kingdoms from the perspective of how they should (and fail to) bear YHWH’s name (be representatives of him). I’ve just read her section on Elijah and it was fantastic.
