Segment 11: God Punishes the People
Presenter: B. Davie Napier
Jeremiah received his call during the reign of King Josiah, who
instituted extensive religious reform in the restoration of the Temple.
When the book of the Law was found in the Temple, Josiah made religious rites conform to the book of the Law. Jeremiah wanted people to hear, accept, and
love him but was driven to proclaim God’s word of judgment and destruction.
With Jerusalem under siege, he demonstrated hope by buying a vineyard.

Video Segment 10 Summary (November 15, 2010 class)
Segment 10: God Warns the People
Presenter: B. Davie Napier
Elijah spoke out on the two major issues of Israelite prophecy: corruption
of the worship of God by pagan practices and social injustice. In the contest
with the prophets of Baal, the two altars show that people want to worship God and pagan local gods as well. The slaughter of the prophets is coherent with the urgency of the command to break totally and radically with false gods. The role of the prophet-minister is to work to see the single altar in the church.

Video Segment 9 Summary (November 8, 2010 class)
Segment 9: The People With a King
Presenter: Kathleen A. Farmer
Because of the military threat of the Philistines, the people of Israel wanted a king like other nations. Saul, the first king, failed in his calling. David, the second king, consolidated the tribes into a single political unit that held together only through the reign of his son Solomon. The kingdom split in two — the Northern Kingdom (Israel) and the Southern Kingdom (Judah). Both kingdoms were overrun by foreign powers and their people carried into exile. The biblical historians, writing from the perspective of the Exile, show the kings of Israel and Judah were at times both faithful and faithless in carrying out their call.
