Additional Reflection Items	Frank Glenn has suggested the following: The Covenant Codes which follow the two basic statements in Exodus and Deuteronomy reflect the "implementing regulations" for a late Bronze Age agricultural, clan-dominated community in the former case and an urban, royal-dominated community in the latter. What would be some of the content of a 21st Century Covenant Code based on the Ten Commandments? Are any of the Ten "dead letters"? Should their order be changed? Additions?
Back to the Beginning	Review of recent scholarship on the quest for the "historical Israel." A paper prepared for Westar Institute Once & Future Faith conference, Rohnert Park CA, Feb 28-Mar 3, 2001.
iTanakh	A good site for materials on the Hebrew Bible.
Theban Mapping Project	A wealth of information on ancient Egypt, the world "super power" throughout most of the biblical period.
Violence in the Bible	Divine violence—and divinely-sanctioned violence—forms part of the dark side of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian religious tradition. These issues emerged in the introductory comments for the online book discussion of this chapter.
