So, what did you think? Did you get some insight into the behavior and the beliefs of people in the Bible? And what about where you are on these axes? Are you further from biblical cultures than you thought—or maybe closer?
This was a warm-up for a deep dive into four key cultural themes: Honor, Patronage, Purity and Kinship. We’ll be crisscrossing over a lot of biblical territory, and a lot of lights will go on as we do.
So let’s get started with our guest, Dr. David deSilva. You’ll have four longer lectures so you might want to take notes while you’re listening.
