REMINDER: You can also watch the episodes on YouTube https://bit.ly/2D0QyXm
Who did Jacob wrestle - God, an angel, both? This week ask that question, and we explore how the Bible definitively answers this question. Things really get interesting when we examine how the Epic of Gilgamesh can shed more light on this enigmatic encounter, and how the writer of Genesis is presenting his audience with one more polemic against other ancient religions.
