The Strange Alliance Between Atheists and Fundamentalists - Don Gordon
Manage episode 503971035 series 3521059
When it comes to reading the Bible, you might think atheists and Christian fundamentalists are worlds apart. But surprisingly, they often share the same approach: both insist Leviticus must be read in a flat, literal way. For atheists, that proves the Bible is absurd. For fundamentalists, it reinforces their views on morality and sexuality.
In this episode, C3 leader Don Gordon takes a fresh look at Leviticus. Drawing on the work of Old Testament scholar Ellen Davis, he explores how this often-misunderstood book points to a holistic life with God — one where food, sex, economics, and even our relationship to the land are woven together in a holy fabric. Along the way, Don shows how Leviticus can actually deepen our care for God’s creation today.
