Retelling the Bible

Join us for this special crossover episode with The Word in Black and Red

Rig, and W Scott McAndless join host Micah as we explore the ancient codes of justice in Leviticus 24:10-23. Why is the punishment for blasphemy so severe? What stories are told, and left untold, by this passage? How does the historical context reframe this passage, and how is this story echoed today? Find out some perspectives on these questions and more on the latest episode of The Word in Black and Red!

Please note the warnings at the top of the episode. Includes discussion of abuse and sexual assault (all biblical) as well as some crude language.
