This week on the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Josh Philpot and Dr. Richard Caldwell will look at a relatively new interpretation of a familiar story to most of us. It is the story of King David and Bathsheba, found in the Old Testament book of 2 Samuel, chapter 11. Dr. Philpot shares that there seems to be confusion about what actually took place in this account between David and Bathsheba. Did David rape Bathsheba- Did David overpower her and forcibly defile her- Or was Bathsheba a willing participant- Was their interaction one of mutual consent in this act of adultery- Who is truly at fault- How can we know what really happened in this narrative- These questions and more will be discussed and answered as Dr. Philpot and Dr. Richard Caldwell converse and carefully consider this passage of Scripture.
