The Rescued Rescuer: How Exodus 1-2 Shaped Christian & Jewish Identity
In this video, we dive into the ancient battle over the story of Moses' birth and rescue in Exodus 1-2. Discover how early Christians and Jewish rabbis used the same Bible verses to define their identities, argue about power and gender, and even secretly attack each other. Based on Agnethe Siquans' book 'Der gerettete Retter', we uncover shocking insights: why Christian fathers turned women into symbols of sin, how Jewish sages praised real women's heroism, and how both groups twisted the text to claim they were the 'true Israel'. This isn't just history—it's a key to understanding religious conflict today. Watch to see how a baby in a basket sparked a war of interpretation that still echoes.
