In this conversation, Dr. Lynn Cohick interviews Dr. Sandra L. Richter, the Robert H. Gundry Chair of Biblical Studies at Westmont College, to discuss her passion for helping believers rediscover the treasures of the Old Testament. As the author of the acclaimed books "The Epic of Eden" and "Stewards of Eden," Dr. Richter offers a fresh and accessible approach to understanding the covenantal structure, themes, and cultural context of the Hebrew Scriptures. She delves into the major covenants, the importance of hermeneutics, and the powerful "aha moments" her students experience when they grasp the deeper significance of the biblical text. Exploring the intersection of faith, theology, and environmental stewardship, Dr. Richter also discusses her video course "Stewards of Eden," which challenges the church to embrace its responsibility to care for God's creation. With insights drawn from her research on the economics and laws of Deuteronomy, she sheds light on the biblical call to trust in God's provision and care for the marginalized.
