S5 E35 | Dr. Michelle Knight | Uncovering The Complexity Of Genesis

The Alabaster Jar

In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Knight joins Dr. Lynn Cohick to explore the complexities of reading Genesis and the Old Testament. They discuss common mistakes readers make, the importance of understanding the foundational chapters of Genesis, and the flawed perceptions of biblical characters. They emphasize the significance of context, the messiness of human nature, and God's ability to work through brokenness. They also highlight specific narratives, such as Judah and Tamar, Lot's choices, and Hagar's story, to illustrate these themes and encourage a deeper understanding of scripture.
