Steve sat down with Dr. Joel Muddamalle, a theologian and self-described “Bible nerd” to help us understand how the Divine Council view brings these biblical puzzle pieces together into a coherent picture. What does “elohim” mean? Does this view commit us to polytheism? Join us in this week’s edition of the AC Podcast as we address these questions and more.
