Description

Episode 2: The ancient site of Tel Arad in the Judean Desert provides a fascinating glimpse into the syncretistic idolatress worship prevalent in ancient Israel and the massive restoration under the leadership of King Josiah. This archeological site includes an altar and a holy of holies with two standing stones representing the Almighty and his consort. Was the common Israelite guilty of utter rebellion or were there other dynamics going on? What lessons can we learn from this for our times?
