Sometimes a shared felt experience is worth looking at in a new light. So in today’s episode, we’re looking at the coronavirus pandemic in the context of the Exile story from the Old Testament.Walter Brueggemann says that when we go through a community-wide trauma like the exile, we tend to move through three stages: interpretation, reflection and anticipation. Together, we can consider what felt true in the collective trauma of Covid over the past four years; and how the Israelites learned to process Jewish law and evolve their thinking about God’s nature and the concept of suffering———ResourcesStanley Hauerwas: Unleashing the ScripturePeter Enns: Odds and Enns SubstackBema Discipleship Podcast Walter Brueggemann: Conversations Among ExileWalter Brueggemann: Jeremiah and the Exile———Support the showThis podcast is a production of Worship Lab, and recorded in Brooklyn New York.
