SUMMARY:Biblical history and promised land
DESCRIPTION:The Ethics of Reading Biblical History: Cover Stories on Stolen Land\, Sunday October 6\, 7:00PM CST\, in person in Saskatoon and on YouTube. \nJoin us for a presentation by Biblical scholar and Professor Rev. Bill Richards looking at the context of the Prophets of the Jewish Bible\, and the ethics behind the concept of “Promised Land” and chosen people. We’ll look at history from the arrival of enslaved Hebrews in Palestine to the collapse of their various states at the hands of imperial powers.  Over time other imperial interests have read themselves into this “conquest narrative”\, as a cover story for their own colonizing projects here in the Americas\, and in Australia\, Africa\, and Palestine. These interpretations ignore significant voices within the Jewish Bible that challenge us to look at how “chosen people” should live with their neighbours. In person at Grace-Westminster United Church\, or on their YouTube channel. Hybrid conversation after. \nThis event is part of a focus on the Palestinian olive harvest and the current situation in the land. Please click here for more details and resources.
