(19) Lecture: DESCENDED TO THE DEAD (the end of the Old Testament narrative)
We finally arrive, roughly, at the end of Israel’s story in the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament—at least the major thread of Israel’s story as it occurs in Genesis – 2 Kings. The Babylonians destroy Jerusalem and the temple, culminating in the events of 586 BCE (narrated in the first part of 2 Kings ch. 25). How does Israel come to this? What happened to the covenant? The promise to the ancestors? What about the land? What about the promise to David? And where could this story possibly go next?
