166. Leprosy

from Historical Jesus Hosted by Historical Jesus

In biblical times, leprosy was often viewed as a divine punishment, a mark of sin or impurity. Such beliefs fostered fear, ostracism, and discrimination. The biblical portrayals of leprosy reinforced a narrative that associated it with moral wrongdoing, leading to social exclusion and isolation. But what is Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s Disease? And how exactly does scripture employ this terrible affliction in its teachings?
