Misreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes, with E. Randolph Richards

E. Randolph Richards, co-author of Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes and Misreading Scripture with Individualist Eyes, joins Cody Cook for this episode of the Libertarian Christian Podcast.

Richards highlights how understanding collectivist and eastern cultures can bring clarity to our interpretation of the Bible and reflects on how understanding cultural differences and embracing a community-centric approach can transform issues like moral failures and societal problems, proposing that the Christian church’s communal ethics might offer solutions more effective than legal frameworks.

Tune in for an enlightening discussion that challenges Western listeners to reconsider their views on shame, community, and individualism through the lens of scripture and diverse cultural contexts.
