The intra-Jewish culture wars of today go all the way back to the Bible, where the Torah of kindness to the stranger--Abraham's Torah--directly conflicts with the laws to wipe out the Canaanite nations--Joshua's Torah. But this is not a battle between two equal camps: there is evidence that the Torah of kindness to the stranger is the original Torah, and the Torah of ethnic cleansing is a revanchist effort to change or subvert the purpose of the covenant itself. We will wrestle the conflict as it appears in Scripture and learn about evidence of its historicity.
