The Culture Wars in First Samuel 20

Dr. Brown: I'm going to go through some key elements in the chapter here and then bring in two areas of expertise that will be relevant to the chapter. One has to do with how these chapters in first Samuel 20 are used in the culture wars, how this text is misinterpreted by gay theologians and gay activists. And then I want to dig deep into a specific Hebrew word and give you some Semitic insights on that as to why we could be translating it differently than many of our translations.
