Bobby Cox: 1941-2026

ALT Bobby Cox: 1941-2026

We are overcome with emotion on the passing of Bobby Cox, our treasured skipper. Bobby was the best manager to ever wear a Braves uniform. He led our team to 14 straight division titles, five National League pennants, and the unforgettable World Series title in 1995. His Braves managerial legacy will never be matched. Bobby was a favorite among all in the baseball community, especially those who played for him. His wealth of knowledge on player development and the intricacies of managing the game were rewarded with the sport’s ultimate prize in 2014 - enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame. And while Bobby's passion for the game was unparalleled, his love of baseball was exceeded only by his love for his family. It is with the heaviest of hearts that we send our sincerest condolences to his beloved wife, Pam, and their loving children and grandchildren.

Great to see a full room for a review of @paulthomasloan new book, Jesus and The Law of Moses. The reviewers agreed that Sloan’s work is a significant contribution to understanding Jesus’ halakhic world. It challenges simplistic notions of Jesus as anti-Torah and instead interprets him as a Jewish teacher navigating urgent eschatological circumstances, engaging in real-time debates about Torah faithfulness, and offering a distinctive vision of ideal observance. If in-depth studies of the New Testament in its Jewish context is your kind of thing, Sloan’s book is a must read👉 a.co/d/7jzc4rN And if you’d like to hear my recent interview with Paul about his book 📺👉 youtu.be/ZYNyYgTL5t8?si=ZUwv… 🎧👉 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
