About this listen
In this episode of The Bible Show, hosts Sam and Will take a detour from the main narrative of Genesis to explore the pivotal and scandalous story of Judah and Tamar. We unpack how this seemingly misplaced chapter is a powerful story of redemption, highlighting God’s grace and the messy lineage of the Messiah.
This episode covers:
- The complex reasons for Judah's separation from his family after selling Joseph.
- The ancient practice of levirate marriage and its purpose.
- The wickedness of Judah’s sons, Ur and Onan, and the divine consequences of their actions.
- Tamar's bold scheme to secure her future and Judah's moment of repentance.
- The controversial history of the church's views on birth control, or "Onanism," and its connection to this text.
- How the story of Judah and Tamar, with its themes of deceit and redemption, ultimately points to the gospel.
