God Establishes His Covenant with Abram (Gen. 15)
Manage episode 367899972 series 3431933
Genesis 15 is another very strange story. It’s not every day God shows up to talk to someone face to face, much less to do everything else He does in this chapter. Josh and Brendan work through all of the language and concepts present to derive a rich understanding of the process through which God intends to bring about Renewed Creation through Abram and the covenant.
