Bibleosophy
The Bible is epic and worth being engaged. We are committed to discussing and explaining what we encounter expecting it to affect us. With Bibleosophy we look at the Bible in its context, trying to place ourselves within it. Then see what and how we can apply to our lives. Basically, what wisdom can we gain from genuinely encountering the Bible?

Episode 7
There a lot of stories in the Bible that require the reader to look deeper for the purpose of the story. One of these is definitely when Abram took his family to Egypt and lied saying Sarai was his sister. Without entering into the context we are left with a weird story and what could seem like the Bible suggesting a careless view toward women. This story and many others require some effort on our part to move into the context of the story. From that vantage point, we can see this story is actually about God seeing the vulnerable and protecting her.
