Episode 199: The Divine Council - Simplified
Update: 2025-10-10
Description
Psalm 82 has been almost universally misunderstood from the time of St. Augustine interpreting it as referring to "human judges." Rabbinic Judaism also abandoned ancient Judaism's original understanding.
The notion of God's Divine Council (found in Psalm 82, Psalm 89, Job 1:6-12) proves to be a challenging concept because of our theological "traditions", but it was NOT a foreign concept in ancient Judaism, and for the earliest Christians.
Thankfully, in recent years, many are returning to the original understanding of God's Divine Council, the Apostolic one!
This short podcast is my attempt to simplify and explain the Divine Council and why it is critical for our understanding of the Biblical narrative.
