On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast we’re doing a deep dive into one passage of Scripture to continue honing our hermeneutical skillset, by reading, studying, and applying a challenging passage together. Elizabeth Groves, known as “Libbie”, is lecturer in biblical Hebrew at Westminster Theological Seminary. Her academic interests include Hebrew and Old Testament exegesis, as well as counseling those who have gone through the loss of a husband or wife. She has four grown and married children, spread across the Northeast, and is expecting her eighth grandchild. Her husband Al passed away in 2007 from melanoma, and Libbie had the opportunity to write about that experience in her book Grief Undone: A Journey with God and Cancer and in a mini-book entitled Becoming a Widow: The Ache of Missing Your Other Half, both from New Growth Press. She treasures visiting family, and if she had any free time, she would spend it reading or watching movies.   FULL SHOW NOTES   DISCUSSION QUESTIONS How does looking at a clearer text help us interpret a less clear text?  How does looking at where the passage sits in the unfolding of redemptive history make a difference on how we understand and apply it to our lives? Why is it important to understand where a specific passage sits in the big story of the Bible? How do we see Jesus in each passage of Scripture? How does his coming and our state of being in him shape our understanding of the passage? What are you going to do or implement as a result of what you’ve learned this week?   FOR MORE: Subscribe: iTunes | Android Follow Us: Instagram | Facebook Support the podcast by writing a review *Affiliate links used are used where appropriate.
