About this episode
The episode explores purification and reparations in Leviticus 4-6, discussing its implications on wealth and reparations owed to descendants of enslaved people.
Join Micah, Ben Boswell, Terry J. Stokes, and Jules Webb as we explore the concept of purification and reparations in Leviticus 4-6. What does this ancient text on making reparations have to teach us about wealth? What is the Levitical and then Christian perspective on reparations owed to the descendants of enslaved people? How does this passage play into the story of Zacchaeus and illustrate the Bible's opposition to wealth? And how does the depravity of love in the lives of the wealthy illustrate the way God seeks our love? Jules Webb is an artist, author, and creator of many zines, including Feast of my Flesh , Why I am an Anarchist , and Sequential Theology . Rev. Dr. Ben Boswell is the author of Confronting Whiteness and the pastor of Collective Liberation Church . Rev. Terry J. Stokes is an anarchist theologian and the author of Jesus and the Abolitionists: How Anarchist Christianity Empowers the People .
