Archaeology of the Everyday: Grounded Theology in Ancient Israel (Backfish & Shafer-Elliott) Ep. #238
Dr. Libby Backfish, theologian who connects history to faith, and Dr. Cynthia Shafer-Elliott, archaeologist of Israelite household life, explore how daily life shapes theology. They discuss household archaeology, the role of land and farming in belief, domestic worship practices, regional hardships that spur religious change, and why theology should be rooted in embodied, communal experience.
