Episode 118 - Summary of Forthcoming Book: Multiplying Divisions: The Fractious Nature of Israel, God’s Elect People.

Episode Summary

In this Podcast I summarize the book that I have recently written, which will be published by Wipf and Stock. It deals with numerous stories in the Old Testament that feature one segment of Israel at odds with another segment of Israel. I include a chapter that deals with what the prophetic materials say Israel’s struggle with unity. A final chapter treats division in the early group that followed Jesus and how divisive it was. In this final chapter, I also argue that Israel is a figure for the Church, which throughout her history and even today continues to “multiply divisions.”
