Steve Cook of Biblische Ausbildung and I had a profitable discussion on issues concerning the history of the priesthood in ancient Israel in both the preexilic and postexilic periods. You can follow the links below to read the discussion. Links at the bottom of each individual post will take you to the next post in the series.
Please note, some of Steve’s responses are on his own site, while others are given as comments at the bottom of my post. The post that began the discussion was at Steve’s blog, so I have provided a link to that post first.
