  • Summary

  • On this episode of the podcast I talk with Dr. Ingrid Faro, an Old Testament scholar and the author of a new book on evil in the Bible, Demystifying Evil: A Biblical and Personal Exploration. Among the topics we discuss:

    • Why it is important to not separate Bible study from life but to do biblical reflection together with our deepest questions.
    • Some of the most significant discoveries about the way that Scripture talks about evil, including one group of words that appears with the word "evil" about 2/3 of the time.
    • Questions from my students: why even include the tree in the garden? And why let the serpent roam free? Doesn't this set up humans to fail?
    • Counsel on how to name evil in the world and in other humans while also remembering the dignity of our fellow image bearers.
    • How we can take responsibility for the evil we've suffered without becoming defined by it.
    • In a world that regularly exposes us to global injustice and atrocity, how do we keep from being overwhelmed?
