S6 E5 | Dr. Michelle Knight | Part 1: Faithfulness in a Compromised Kingdom - King Ahab and Queen Jezebel

In this conversation, Dr. Michelle Knight joins Dr. Lynn Cohick to delve into the complex biblical figure of Jezebel, exploring her multifaceted role in the books of 1 and 2 Kings. Through a detailed examination of key passages, including the infamous story of Naboth's vineyard, they unpack Jezebel's influence on King Ahab and her aggressive promotion of Baal worship in Israel. The discussion reveals Jezebel not just as a villainous character, but as a nuanced representation of the spiritual and political challenges faced by God's people during a tumultuous period in Israelite history.
