Isaiah 53 Isn’t Only About the Cross (Matthew 8)
Over deze podcast
Most of us were handed a Bible without the world it came from. God in Context explores Scripture through the cultural, historical, and Jewish lens that shaped every word of it — so the text opens up in ways a surface reading never could. Each episode takes a concept, a passage, or a question Christians wrestle with and digs into what it actually meant before it meant what we think it means. For curious believers ready to read the Bible on its own terms.
