Playing All Sides

from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School

In this week's episode, Richard explores the Lord's counter-intuitive stance in Ezekiel, in which judgement falls on all sides and no human being finds favor in God's sight. Why would the story present God as the one who brings evil against Israel? Why would he use Israel's enemies only to bring more evil against them, after the fact? The podcast explores these questions as we discuss the very passages in Ezekiel which gave rise to the expression, "fire and brimstone." (Episode 48) ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
