Manage episode 496898835 series 2837425
In this episode of The Dig In Podcast, Johnny Ova sits down with Dr. Iain Provan, respected Old Testament scholar and author of Seriously Dangerous Religion, to explore how the ethical vision of the Old Testament still speaks into the moral confusion of today.
They unpack the difference between biblical law and ethics, the prophetic message of Isaiah, and how to faithfully wrestle with some of the harder or more disturbing Old Testament texts. Dr. Provan also shares insight into his newest work Cuckoos in Our Nest and explains why understanding what it means to be human is one of the most urgent issues facing the Church.
If you’ve ever wondered how to read the Old Testament with wisdom and relevance, this conversation will open your eyes.
