Melchizedek: King, Priest, and God and the Forbidden Degrees
The title of this post is actually somewhat deceptive as it implies that the post is going to be about Melchizedek, who can be considered a king, a priest, and also a god, and about the “Forbidden Degrees” (sounds tantalizing, eh?), which the title seems to suggest have some connection to Melchizedek.

Apocalyptic Paul?
As I was looking through some old notes taken in my Apocalyptic Literature class (last semester), I found some brief details I took down from our class discussion of the Apostle Paul.
