Back From Greece
from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School
What would happen if God gave you honor, riches and wealth such that nothing you desired was beyond your reach? What if he then invited foreigners to enjoy this wealth in your place? What does this mean? Is the foreigner wrong to partake of your treasure? Is he now better off than you? Would you be right to condemn him? How can anyone reconcile God’s generosity with such terrible affliction? For that matter, how can one reconcile bounty with famine; honor with obscurity; or purpose with futility? Richard and Fr. Marc explore these questions as they discuss Ecclesiastes 6. This week’s episode is produced in solidarity with the people of Greece. We love you and we are praying for you.
