In this episode, Cyndi talks with Old Testament scholar Jenny Matheny about her personal journey with Scripture and her academic work on the Hebrew concept of hesed.
Ever tried explaining a word that shows up 250+ times in the Bible... and still can't quite pin it down? That's exactly the puzzle Old Testament scholar Jenny Matheny sits down to unpack with Cyndi this episode. Using her own growing up context in Napa Valley and the French wine concept of terroir to help people explore the concept of the Hebrew term hesed. This word defies easy translations because it is so thick with meaning.
