Join us as Dr. Danny Carroll joins the podcast to discuss justice in the prophets. You’ll see how these texts and the actions of the prophets connect both to the law before them, and to the ministry of Christ after them. You’ll also learn why the law and worship of God were so closely connected for God’s people in Israel, and how that understanding impacts us today.
