God vs. Iron

About this episode

The episode explores the biblical story of Deborah and the Israelite army's victory over the Canaanites, emphasizing the importance of divine assistance.

We look at a story from Judges: the female judge Deborah and how her army destroyed the far more advanced army of their enemy. In the Bible, it is an epic of the Iron Age of the Canaanites vs. the Bronze Age of the Israelites. We study both the prose and the poem version of this story. We see how with God's help, the rag tag Israelite army destroys the experienced Canaanite army which is invading on their iron chariots. We look at how this applies to us today - and we consider more than just the lesson that we need God's help.
