Noah has a conversation with Dr. Sandra Richter on her new Bible study Deborah: Unlikely Heroes and the Book of Judges. In the podcast interview, Sandy talks through difficult stumbling blocks to approaching the Old Testament like violence and sexism. She gives great insight into why and how to read the Old Testament and apply it to our lives as new covenant Christians, with a focus on the unique person of Deborah.
Sandy Richter is the Robert H. Gundry Chair of Biblical Studies at Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA. Richter earned her PhD in Hebrew Bible from Harvard University and her MA in Theological Studies from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. She is the author of The Epic of Eden: A Christian Entry into the Old Testament (IVP) and the much-loved series of video Bible study curriculums that have grown from that project. She has taught at Asbury Theological Seminary, Wesley Biblical Seminary, and Wheaton College. As her many students will tell you, Sandy’s particular gift is bringing the real people and real places of the biblical narrative to life. Richter is a member of the New International Version (NIV) Translation Committee, she has spent many years bringing student groups to Israel to study historical geography and field archaeology, and in her technical work often writes on the intersections between Syro-Palestinian archaeology, linguistics and Bible. She is the author of the brand new Bible study, Deborah: Unlikely Heroes and the Book of Judges, which includes an 8-Session Video Bible Study Part of the Epic of Eden Curriculum Series.
