Episode 52: Exodus - Narrative and Law with Special Guest Professor Sam Boyd

As we begin The Book of Exodus with its rich narratives of Moses, redemption and revelation, Rabbi Marc is in conversation with Professor Sam Boyd, a teacher of Bible at CU in Boulder. An academic, historical approach to these sacred scriptures may seem dry and antithetical to religious and spiritual understandings, but Professor Boyd's passion for these texts and their place in the ancient Near East is illuminating and surprisingly compatible with more traditional interpretations. A professor and a rabbi explore ways in which these narratives help us find meaning.
