Description: In this episode of Five-Minute Debate, host Robert Smith moderates a rapid-fire theological exchange between two fictional biblical scholars, Dr. Lydia Hartman and Dr. Marcus Cain. The topic? Genesis 35—Is this chapter a fresh theological turning point in Jacob's story, or a literary recapitulation of earlier themes? With references to scholars like Gordon Wenham, John Walton, Nahum Sarna, and Bruce Waltke, our debaters draw from top-tier biblical scholarship to argue their cases. Tune in and cast your vote!
