Homebrewed LectioCast
Should Christians support the slaughter of anyone in the land of Israel who is not ethnically Jewish? Is our hope for the future tied to the restoration of an earthly Davidic monarch? What does a crucified messiah have to do with God’s promises to restore Israel after the exile? LectioCast will be recording a special episode that probes the question of how we read and preach the Old Testament as Christians. What difference, if any, should our commitment to Jesus make for how we interpret the Hebrew Bible and proclaim its message?
