About this Episode
Do you struggle with reading the Old Testament because of the violent passages in it, including places where God appears to condone, encourage, or even be responsible for that violence? Tamra Fromm offers a framework for reading those passages and considers them in the light of Christ's teaching.
Content warning: Mentions of disturbing violence portrayed in the Old Testament, including the rape and dismemberment of the Levite’s concubine in Judges 19.
