    This morning the focus of my meditation was on Tamar the beautiful young virgin daughter of the King David. No doubt she was waiting for the man she trusted God would one day bring to her… I was touched by the tragic irony of Tamar’s dress. She ripped the fabric of her robe as surely as Amnon ripped the fabric of her honour. What touched me most was the inappropriate response of her brother Absalom. No doubt he loved his sister, but here’s what he said to Tamar, “Be quiet and don’t take things to heart”(2 Sam 13:20).…

Tamar is justified in her actions of sleeping with her stepfather because of the levirate law and preserving the family lineage.…

    If at any moment you found yourself lost in the hefty narrative of Beowulf, treading alongside the many songs and flashbacks, in class on Thursday we discussed the introduction of our “thought” aircraft marshall, Wiglaf. Beginning shortly after line 2626, Wiglaf (a “new to this” young fighter and kinsmen of Beowulf’s) enters stage left with two handheld illuminated beacons to attract our attention and interest; to garner attention to his “wise and fluent words” on our hero. Filled with sorrow, he rallies the troops with images of their bodies “robed in the same burning blaze as my gold-giver’s body” to both establish glory in battle and a debt to fighting alongside Beowulf. Dr. Hedman proposed that Wiglaf’s purpose is to direct our response to a figure like Beowulf during the “speech before the battle cry” and ultimately, Beowulf’s death, moment of the narrative. Inserting the phrase “spoiler alert!”…
