Episode 138: Hellfire and Brimstone
Manage episode 320854019 series 2797227
Have you ever seen a preacher pounding on a Bible and yelling that we're all going to burn in hell because we're not following some obscure law given to the ancient Israelites thousands of years ago? I know I have, and I didn't like it much. In this episode, we take a look at how to actually place some of those ancient texts into a realistic historical/cultural context. We also cover several different perspectives on how we should (or shouldn't) apply any of that to our own lives in the modern world. Whether you go to church or not, whether you've ever read the Bible or not, I think you'll find this one really informative and thought-provoking. Or maybe I'll just get burned as a heretic for daring to question so many traditional beliefs.
