judgment and responsibility (2018/09/16)
Continuing our recent theme of the relationship between the Bible and history, King Josiah is front and center for the Deuteronomist this week - though God's response is objectively surprising (if literarily inevitable).

There are some really interesting form critical observations to be made about the passages in this episode, which should help us to really listen to the message in the text. We can't help but bring our own beliefs and worldview to our reading of the Bible, so it's really important to pay careful attention to the writing if we don't want to turn the text into our own personal echo chamber. That's I'm aiming for this week, so let me know if you find it helpful!
