0:00.0	Hey everyone. Welcome back to the podcast. This is Matt Lynch coming to you from Regent College in Vancouver. Thanks so much for listening in. This is a republished episode with Dr. Karen Reeder about her book, The Enemy in the Household, on Family Violence and Deuteronomy and beyond. And it's been a while since we published this episode, and I thought it would be good to get it back out there since it's an important topic.
0:24.0	And I think Karen's approach to the violent family texts in Deuteronomy is really interesting and helpful.
0:32.6	Also, I want to just remind you that we have a live event coming up with Vince Bantu in San Antonio.
0:41.4	There's information on our website onscrip.70 forward slash events.
0:45.5	It's going to be on Monday the 22nd of November at 8 p.m.
0:51.8	We'll be discussing Vince's book, A Multitude of All People's, Engaging Ancient Christianity's Global Identity, published by IVP. And this event is sponsored by IVP, so we're grateful to them for that. So if you're in the San Antonio area or would like to be in the San Antonio area for that event.
1:12.1	Maybe you're going to be at AARSBL.
1:14.1	We'd love to see you there.
1:15.4	So check out our website for information.
1:18.0	Enjoy the episode.

1:30.9	or your friend who is like your own self, urges you secretly saying, let us go and worship other
1:37.3	gods, gods whom you and your ancestors have not known, do not give in to them, do not listen to them, do not let your eye pity them,
1:47.9	do not spare and do not conceal them, rather you shall indeed kill them. Your hand should be
1:55.3	against them first to kill them. And the hand of all the people thereafter, you will stone that person with stones
2:02.5	until they die, for they sought to turn you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the
2:08.1	land of Egypt from the house of slavery. And all Israel will hear in fear so that they will not do
2:14.3	anything like this evil thing in your midst.
2:23.3	Most of us who read this cringe, the idea that one could suppress the impulse to show pity to one's most intimate relations, would seem to run directly against the grain of
2:29.1	every human instinct.
2:30.9	How can this text be God's word to us?
