S4 E9 | Dr. Carol M. Kaminski | The Faith Of Abraham: Looking Beyond The Simplifications
In this episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Lynn Cohick is joined by Dr. Carol M. Kaminski to examine the story of Abraham as they provide important background about Abraham's upbringing in the idolatrous city of Ur to show he came from a pagan context. The conversation challenges common oversimplifications of Abraham as a "good man" and instead presents him as a sinner who believed in God. It's a thoughtful examination of grace and redemption in Abraham's story and how God works in the lives of flawed people.
