    Despite what many think, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt did not succeed each other as an unbroken, patrilineal chain by any means. By the Eighteenth Dynasty, the state of kingship had recovered is authority from the Asiatic ruling of the Second Intermediate Period. Hatshepsut, one of the most well-known female kings of Egypt, is a clear outlier to what one would expect from a typical pharaoh. Her story, in summary, involves her gaining control over administration after King Thutmose II, her husband and step-brother, dies, and using that as a stepping stone to claim solitary kingship rather than continuing a life of co-regency – meaning, shared kingship – with Thutmose III, the originally intended male heir and her step-son. This essay will analyze…

    Prompt #1 Hospitality is a very common and reoccurring topic in the book of Genesis, but it is represented in unusual ways. In the story of “Sodom and Gomorrah”, and old man says to his guests “let me bring them to you (his daughters), and you may do to them as you please” (Genesis 19:8). Lot, the father, is simply trying to be hospitable, but today we read this and think how could someone do this? Personally, I am willing to consider this as a very extreme version of hospitality, but I still believe that it is a terrible thing for someone to do.…

    What to Bring to a Battle: A Slingshot In 1 Samuel, David is the most unlikely hero because he is a child with little experience in war and because he defeats a terrifying warrior; these traits are commendable because his size and physical strength have nothing to do with his performance in battle. When David became aware of the situation, he went down to the army. When David volunteered to fight Goliath Saul responded: “Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth” (1 Samuel 17:33). Saul says this because even the strongest men of his army are afraid to fight him, and he does not believe David can do it.…

In the prologue of the book of Judges there is a recurring cycle of apostasy, oppression, penitence, and deliverance. The judges were all endowed by God to lead His people, but they were not always leaders of ideal character. In chapter one the Israelites fail to keep the covenant with God.…
