Just in time for Halloween, this week, Dr. Bob Cargill, Jordan Jones, and Mary Kate Lichty discuss the Hebrew Bible's one and only necromancy story: 1 Samuel 28 and the story of the so-called 'Witch' of Endor! What is this story doing in the Bible? What does this story have to say about necromancy? Why does she get called a 'witch' instead of medium or necromancer? Join us as we walk through this story and poke some of the corners of the text that often get skipped over.
