How Understanding the Bible’s World Will Help You Understand the Bible (Episode 4)
- Part of Discover Your Roots
Episode Summary
The bible was written by dozens of authors over thousands of years, so some parts of the biblical narrative are “pixelated”—dispersed throughout Scripture in ways that can sometimes be hard to find. We’re using Hebraic thought to help us make sense of pixelated themes in the Bible, learn why they were written that way, and bring to light the overall message those pixels create.
