Some Things You Need to Know About the Bible: Week 7

About this episode

This episode discusses how the Bible reflects the reader's thoughts and has been misused to justify historical evils.

The Bible is often a mirror that reveals the thoughts and inclinations of the reader. Like a Rorschach Test, the ink on the pages of Holy Scripture validates predispositions. After all, Christians have used the Bible to justify colonialism, slavery, and other evils—a warning to us all.
