Episode: Genesis 38: Judah and Tamar: None are Righteous
Description: Just when the spotlight turns to Joseph’s trials in Egypt, Genesis 38 takes a shocking detour into scandal, sin, and surprising grace. Judah, the ancestor of Christ, falls into deception, sexual sin, and hypocrisy. Tamar, also caught up in deception, leads us to question if perceived injustice is an excuse for her sinful behavior. This chapter teaches us about God's mercy, human failure, and the messy lineage of our Savior.The Rev. Gregory Alms, St. Paul Lutheran Church and School in Catonsville, MD, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 38.
