The Cosmos of the Hebrew Bible | Searching the Scriptures EV

The Biblonian

This episode is the second of many on the new series: Searching the Scriptures. Searching the Scriptures is a series where I will be going through content that I taught to some students at my church on the development of the Bible and hermeneutics (how we read the Bible). While the class is about the Bible as a whole, it is more focused on the Hebrew Bible (/Old Testament/TaNaKh); in this series, we will go through the following: Harmful Hermeneutics The Composition of the Bible The History of the Bible The Literature of the Bible The Cosmos of the Bible Searching the Scriptures Today The World of the Hebrew Bible is one entirely different from our own. First of all, it was flat. However, the Hebrew Bible was also focused on the significance of the world much more than they were the science of it. They focused on metaphysics and not physics. Not only was their cultural world different, but the way in which they actually saw the world was different. In this episode, I explain how we can make sense of that when we know that it's round.
