Pots, Parables, and Prophets

with Dr. Dale Liid

The Bible employs a rich vocabulary to describe ceramic pots, dishes, jars, and other vessels; Hebrew has roughly three times as many such words as English. Knowing what specific vessel a term describes, not only deepens our understanding of the Scriptural text, but also leads to increased spiritual insight as we see why the prophet or parable-teller chose a particular term.

Dr. Dale Liid has served as a missionary, teacher and pastor, with graduate studies in Archeology and Historical Geography.
