Presumption of Canaanite Guilt: Valid or Unjust?

Episode Summary

Dr. Justin Reed is an Old Testament professor at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary, and he is here to talk about his new book The Injustice of Noah's Curse.

Episode Notes

In Part 2 of the conversation with Dr. Justin Reed about his new book The Injustice of Noah's Curse, we focus on the "presumption of Canaanite guilt" and what kind of influence that has on interpreters. How can we learn to ask better questions of the text? This is yet another example of why it is so important to study the Bible with people who bring different lenses to their study! Dr. Reed helps us explore the broader implications of these interpretations for understanding compassion, justice, and morality in ancient texts, highlighting the dynamic and often ironic narratives within Genesis.
