Description
<p>Jeremiah 17:9 is often taken as a proof text for ‘original sin’ and “total depravity”. But is that a correct reading and is the human heart indeed ‘desperately wicked’?</p> <p>In this talk Tony explores this question and along the way uses the text – and its typical mishandling – as a starting point to explore smarter and more authentic ways to read Jeremiah – and indeed the Old Testament. This is pretty important as it unlocks the text from its cage of assumptions and lets it speak for itself – and so challenge and transform us.</p>
