One of this generation's foremost Old Testament scholars, Dr. Daniel Carroll Rodas, led this Bible study for Anglican leaders, from three different countries in four different time zones, on behalf of the Matthew 25 Initiative. This study aims to provide participants with a deep understanding of a biblical vision for justice and mercy. The question of biblical ethics is unpacked with a specific emphasis on “how are the people of God to engage society? how does theology interact with social structures from a biblical perspective?"
In this Bible study, an introduction to the Law is provided with a focus on understanding the narrative context of its giving.
- The identity of God’s people is that they are ones who “cried out” and “God listened” and “while you were slaves, oppressed, outsiders, and poor, I rescued you, so don’t forget”.
- The Quadrilateral of the Vulnerable: the poor, widows and orphans, and foreigners
- Exploration of the cultural context, considering both the broader setting's similarities and differences and Israel's unique cultural aspects.
