Episode 73 - Ancient Cosmology & Divine Rest
April 1, 2022 (no fooling!) - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall
In this episode we take a little trip. We’ll be visiting the world of the Ancient Near East (ANE). Why is this important? Because the Bible was written into that ancient culture. We’ll be looking at how people who lived in the Ancient Near East understood the creation of the cosmos and what they thought of the gods that they believed ruled over their world. It’s quite a journey, and it may cause you to rethink how you’ve understood the first few chapters of Genesis.
