hubris and humility (2017/10/08)
In 1 Chronicles 24-25, we have the first of two weeks concerning the first temple, but two very heavy texts in Ezekiel 34 and Philippians 1-2. Ezekiel rails against the failed Israelite leaders following the destruction of Jerusalem, and preaches the radical character of Yahweh the shepherd God. In the New Testament, Paul describes true humility and the importance of intentional love.
It's a slightly shorter show this week. There's a passage in Philippians 1 in which Paul appears to use language reminiscent of suicide in Hellenistic philosophy. I did five minutes on it, and then decided to cut it and do a proper job. You can hear that on Thursday in a mid-week bonus episode, if you feel able to engage the subject.
