  • 252 What's In A Name: Exile & Redemption Part 2 (The Chosen Season 1--Episode 1)

    We @TheCottage explore how the ancient people of the Bible to whom God was speaking understood the Scriptures to show us how God was speaking to them yet communicating to them revelation for all of us even today even if in their context. 

    In this session, we begin a series to explore the TV series, The Chosen. This background survey is highlighting the behind the scenes takeaways from the roundtable and goes more deeply into what they were tapping into when they "added" content to instill a background to the biblical narrative by tapping into the biblical worldview.


    In Part 1, we explored from whence did the author get the name Lilith in this Chosen episode for Mary Magdalene? Is this unbiblical? Launching off the Chosen's Roundtable of scholars and their discussions we look more into the matter. Why is this important? What is the importance of name and identity in the Bible. Let's delve more deeply than what the roundtable offered. Here, in Part 2, we continue our discussions and uncover the connections to Christ that lie beneath the Jewish traditions being conveyed in this episode on exorcism.

No matter what he faced, he found a way by God's grace to bring a quality like none other among his peers. Rachel wanted another son and this tells us there is more to Joseph than we may know needing to add another episode to address this dynamic.
