I especially loved this part: “...memory has moral weight. That forgetting injustice doesn’t produce peace. It produces repetition. The communities and individuals who stop remembering what evil looks like are the ones most vulnerable to welcoming it back in under a friendlier name with a better marketing strategy.”
Love this! Thinking on this point the most: Biblical memory is identity-forming. It tells you who you belong to, and by extension, what you’re willing to tolerate and what you refuse to let stand.

Thank you!!!
I love the depth here.
The point that's sticking with me is Saul spiritualizing his way around the command. It's giving me a lot to think about...
I have learned so much about myself from studying Saul!
I can only imagine.
It might be time for me to take a deep dive into the life of Saul myself.
