Beyond the Gist

Episode 7: The Gold Rule

- - - - - - - - - - -

In this episode, I take a look at the well-known ethical standard known as The Golden Rule. Is the goal to treat others well so that they, in turn, treat us well, or is there something more to this idea? I also recommend a couple of resources that might help Bible readers to go beyond the gist on their own.
