  • Deeper Waters Podcast 10/21/2017: John Walton

    Ready to talk about the conquest?

    The link can be found here.

    ----------

    What's coming up this Saturday? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.

    The conquest of Canaan is always a controversial topic. Why would a God of love allow people to be massacred like this? There have been numerous ways to explain this. Still, very few if any have been done by actual Old Testament scholars. That has all changed.

    Not only has it changed, but it has changed with one of my favorite scholars in the field, writing alongside his son. This is a man who has changed the way we look at numerous texts and is someone I am always thrilled to have on the show. Now he has a new work out in this book that as I have indicated, was written with his son, dealing with the conquest of Canaan. This one presents an interesting theory that is already causing some talk in the evangelical world and I will be talking with him about this book and what all his conclusions entail and what this has to say about questions of morality and judgment in the Old Testament. My guest is none other than John Walton. Who is he?

    According to his bio:

    Tomorrow, we will be discussing his latest book*The Lost World of the Israelite Conquest. In this book, Walton says that we have got a lot wrong about the conquest. The conquest is more about preparing sacred space for the Israelites to serve YHWH in community and that the conquest is not about judgment on the Canaanites for their sins. What does this mean? Does this mean the Canaanites were rather good people and just in the wrong place and wrong time? Doesn't the text frequently speak about their detestable practices? Does this mean YHWH was okay with what they were doing?

    These are all important kinds of questions to ask. Why is really going on in the text if we have misunderstood it and how do we work this all out today? Have past writers on this been entirely wrong in their defense of YHWH in the account?

    I hope you'll be joining me next time. Please be watching for the next episode in your podcast feed. Also, please go on ITunes*and leave a positive review of the Deeper Waters Podcast.

    In Christ,
    Nick Peters

    I'm always still in trouble again

      Yes. It was right after we discussed the plans to oust the leadership of TWeb together and take over.

      Oh darn! I wasn't supposed to say that out loud was I?

          Oh right! Just joking! Yes! It's a good thing we never discussed ousting TWeb and taking over and stealing Sparko's secret stash of bacon and using it to blackmail everyone else!
