229 Bible — Holy War or the Cosmic Jubilee?

<p>An episode examining competing frames for Israel’s conquest narratives: the rhetoric of holy war versus the theological vision of a cosmic jubilee (restoration, land redistribution, and covenant renewal).

Ideal for listeners interested in biblical ethics, theology, and history.</p>
