Libby Backfish and Cynthia Shafer-Elliott - Grounded Theology
About this episode
Kyle chats with Libby Backfish and Cynthia Shafer-Elliott about their book on archaeology and theology in ancient Israel.
In this episode, Kyle chats with Libby Backfish and Cynthia Shafer-Elliott about bringing archaeology and theology into conversation—the topic of their recent book, Grounded Theology in the Hebrew Bible: Exploring the Cultural Context that formed Ancient Israel. The conversation starts with the ancient Israelite household (and how it was essential to ancient thinking and theology), stays with the household (and related areas of ancient Israelite life and theology), and ends with the household (and, again, how it was essential to ancient thinking).
