BANTER - David & Bathsheba

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon. 
The interpretation of the story of David & Bathsheba is one which has fell awry throughout church history to an overly male scholarship... so who better to remedy this issue than your boys Mitch and Murray!
They chat about the inaccurate typecast of Bathsheba as the Temptress, themes which are more dominant in the story ahead of lust, and what a contemporisation of this story could look like.
