Jeopardy: The Hebrews-Romans Question

One of the shows I enjoy watching is the TV quiz show “Jeopardy.”  I actually have a few previous Jeopardy-related posts on this blog, most notably my post from 2020 which explores Jeopardy math. Although the contestants on Jeopardy consistently know way more than I do, I like to test my own knowledge while watching the show – especially in categories in which I feel like I can do well – usually math, sports, U.S. history or geography, and categories on the Bible.  After a recent Jeopardy tournament, and one Bible question in particular, has generated a lot of fan reaction and discussion, I thought I would provide my own thoughts on here on the topic.

The 2022 Jeopardy Tournament of Champions, which concluded this past week, was the culmination of a memorable season of super-champions.  It was an interesting tournament with a different format and an exciting conclusion; however, a controversial finish to one of its games leaves a bit of a stain that I would like to see rectified.  I am, of course, referring to the Romans-Hebrews debate from their November 16 episode.
