On this special Purim edition, Alan explains how the Bible values the role and responsibility of the individual through Esther. He connects the Purim story with Yeshua's unique role as Messiah, and how it doesn't undermine the centrality of Israel in God's plan, but rather affirms it.

Over the past few weeks, Alan has been sharing how we need to take the Bible on its own terms. The clear lens through which to engage Scripture is one where we recognize the centrality of Israel in God's plan. In this episode Alan provides some of the particular benefits we derive from this biblical perspective of the Bible.

Alan shares an extensive list of Bible passages from both the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament that reflect the central place of Israel in God's plans and purposes. Understanding Israel's role is essential to effectively understanding Scripture.

Alan explains the various ways we skew our understanding of the Bible through three versions of Replacement Theology.
