Wild Asses, Archetypal Snakes, and Lots of Women - Faith and Other Oddities Episode 37

Our Genesis wrap up! We offer up an answer to the question we asked last week - Is Jacob calling Joseph a plant or an animal? And we don’t just answer the question, we look at the methodology we use when confronted with issues in the text. Then we discuss if there is a connection with Nachash as a serpent in the Garden, Joseph and Laban as diviners, and the Python Spirit that Paul confronts in Acts. And then we wrap up with an overview of how God protects and honors the women of Genesis.
