This is the second post in a series on Christianity as Anthropology. In this, I'm sketching out in quick narrative form a synthesis of many different ideas. See my references here.
My previous post described how humans became evil. Now, I want to describe how this evil came to be focused on the destruction of ancient Israel.
For the past two weeks, I've been exploring the nature and rise of human evil. We're about to move into the New Testament, but before we do, I want to make sure I'm super clear as to the problems that were plaguing humanity, and the problems that Jesus believed he could solve.
