In 2014, Dr. Wright introduced the MOOC on coursera, ”Bible’s Prehistory, Purpose, and Political Future,” to a worldwide audience of learners.[4] In putting the Hebrew Bible firmly in people’s minds, he embraced the academic richness of both biblical scholarship and the archaeology of Ancient Near East. The book is framed by imports from the academic discipline of War Studies — especially how collective memories of peoplehood are shaped through war and conflict, and that any peoplehood thinking cannot be apolitical. Wright argues the formation of the Hebrew Bible, the Prehistory thereof, cannot be conceived in a vacuum. According to Wright, such a history must be understood longue durée: how the moral decay or fall of a given civilization is understood by its own people.
