The Tower of Babel, illicit sources of knowledge, the dangers of conformity, and the importance of having a name, all in this episode. As one the foundational stories of the Bible, Babel is so much more than a story of city, and it is the key to understanding many future accounts within Scripture that demonstrate the importance of the individual and the nature of God’s sovereignty. We discuss how the writer of Genesis utilizes sarcasm, repetition, and plays on words to drive home his point.
