Rolf Jacobson: Israel's In-Your-Face, Holy God
Mar 5, 2019
Rolf Jacobson, an expert on the Old Testament and author of the Homebrewed Christianity Guide to the Old Testament, dives into the often misunderstood Hebrew scriptures. He challenges listeners to embrace these texts rather than dismiss them. The discussion also covers the nature of God as just and merciful, the transformative power of prayer and Psalms, and the complexities of engaging with sacred texts. With a blend of humor and theology, Jacobson reflects on modern interpretations and the ongoing relevance of ancient scriptures in today's world.
