THE CHARGE with Dennis Metzler

IDOLATRY: A Biblical and Theological Exploration with Stephen Fowl


Listen Later

Dr. Fowl defines idolatry, considers the golden calf, the bronze serpent, and the giving of the Law, compares idols and icons, explores food and idols at Corinth, and looks at the shema and forgetfulness in regard to idolatry. Our discussion contemplates the place of overconsumption, greed, fear, and preemption as they relate to idolatry. Fowl offers an emphasis on creation, thankfulness, catechesis, mission, and a healthy curiosity to counter today's idolatry. Finally, as a contemporary example of idolatry, Dr. Fowl explores White cultural dominance.
