The Republican Professor

Part 5 of a series on the history of Israel based on a fair use and transformative reading of "Israel and the Nations: From the Exodus to the Fall of the Second Temple" (Eerdmans, 1963) by FF Bruce.

This episode includes interaction with the famous historical characters of Elijah and Elisha in his chapter V entitled "The House of Omri 881 to 841 BC" by the Rylands Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis, FF Bruce, my intellectual and spiritual grandfather because he mentored my professor Bruce Demarest who himself studied under FF Bruce at the University of Manchester.

We're going to do a fair use and make a transformative reading of this material. We'd like to thank Eerdmans for making it available and thank FF Bruce for writing it.

It also contains multiple references to Deuteronomy 17.

The Republican Professor is a pro-biblical-literacy, pro-Christmas, pro-quality-mentoring, pro-understanding-the-history-of-Israel podcast.

The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.

Part 8: We continue our timely coverage of Pope Leo XIII 's Rerum Novarum numbers 36 through the end of 45 in his continued condemnation of Socialism and collectivism against the individual rights of employers, workers and families in 1891, when Socialism was increasingly popular in intellectual circles, setting the stage for the statisms of the 1900s.

The Republican Professor is a pro-getting-theology's-application-to-public-policy-correct podcast.

Part 2: Karen Humphries joins us 4 years later for Part 2 in a series on getting elected to local School Board in Ohio. She's just been reelected this past Fall 2025, having first been elected to the position in 2017.

The Republicans need to come to terms with what the plan is with public education. A good first step is having a good School Board in place, no matter what you think about homeschooling and vouchers and the plethora of other issues in public funding of education.

Interested in running for School Board yourself ? Or, interested in recruiting quality candidates on how to do so and what it might be like ? You'll be interested in Part 1 which was Episode 32 published on 29 March 2022 and this Part 2 here 4 years later (26 March 2026 recorded).

More to come in the future.

This is part 7 in the series. (Part 6 was the episode on 5 Feb, 2026). We're continuing our discussion of the chapter called "Sex." Chapter 3. We finish that chapter today. The next chapter is War.

We discuss his sub-chapters starting at "Roe v. Wade and the Supreme Court" on page 53 and discuss the book Our Bodies, Ourselves and the Equal Rights Amendment, both titles of subsections in the chapter on Sex.

This is a continuation of a transformative reading and fair use of Chris Caldwell's "The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties" published by Simon and Schuster in 2020.

We'd like to thank Chris Caldwell for writing it, Simon and Schuster for making it available, and encourage you to purchase your own physical copy of the book so that you can follow along. Please support brick and mortar book dealers, you local book dealers.

I'd like to thank my former political philosophy student Matt Stone (Phil M03: Social and Political Philosophy at Moorpark College, Spring 2008) for purchasing my copy of the book for me and supporting TRP podcast.

Let's foster a culture that values good authors and good books, physical books, and honors and rewards publishers for making those books available for us to read and to think about. Please support this author and this publisher.

Also, support your local brick and mortar book dealer, dealers in physical books.
