Rahab: YHWH’s Bootstrap Heroine, Jericho’s Shame, or…?
For centuries, Christians have gave the story of Rahab this headline: “Jericho Lady of the Night Makes Good by YHWH’s Side!” More recently, from a perspective that struggles with the idea that God might endorse genocide, the summary reads: “You Won’t Believe the real History of Jericho’s Great Betrayer!”
