The Divine Life Under Human Conditions

Episode Summary

We resume our study of Genesis by looking at Chapters 34 and 35, where Jacob’s rather hectic life continues: the neighbors are mad, idolatry and incest appear again in the family, and three cherished relatives die. This hodgepodge of events nudges us to ask what is particularly “spiritual” about such inconveniences and misfortunes in Jacob’s life—and in ours.
