Rethinking Scripture Podcast - Episode 38: The Rethinking Babel Project March 15, 2022 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall Some people think of the first eleven chapters of Genesis as only a prologue or filler to get to the story of Abraham. But it’s in those chapters where key the theme of rebellion is first introduced. In the beginning chapters of Genesis we are also introduced to the idea of exile. These themes culminate in one short story in chapter eleven. It’s about a tower reaching into the heavens and God confusing language to disrupt a rebellion. Referenced Resources: Walton, J. H.
