57. DPE: Did Jephthah Sacrifice His Daughter?

Written By Jonathan Groves

This is a Difficult Passage Episode. Today Matt and Jon sit down to discuss a bizarre passage in Judges 11. Jephthah, a judge in Israel, makes a tragic vow to God. If God gives him victory over his enemies he'll offer the first thing that comes out of his home to greet him as a burnt offering. What was he thinking? Well, either way - his daughter comes out to greet him once he gets back...

Matt and Jon talk about the two primary views of this passage, share what they think, and discuss how one might preach Judges 11.

Hope you enjoy!
