Segment 14: The Righteous Are Like a Tree
Presenters: Albert C. Outler and Richard B. Wilke
As the people return from exile, God leads them to witness, not to conquest.
As in the original conquest, God is deliverer. But now the destiny of God’s people is religious. The renewal of their vow to serve the one God includes the rebuilt Temple, a pure form and spirit of worship, and the reconstitution of the covenant
community. Righteous living is symbolized by a tree rooted and nourished in the faith of the God of Israel.
