1479. The Bible Was Never About “Me” | Cultural Keys to Reading the New Testament

Episode Description

Modern readers often confuse biblical collectivism with modern political ideologies—but the ancient world wasn’t ideological, it was relational.

In this episode of Cultural Keys, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb explains how identity, obedience, blessing, and even sin were understood communally in the biblical world—and why Scripture constantly speaks in terms of family, people, and belonging, not isolated individuals.

This isn’t about socialism or state control.

It’s about kinship, covenant, and shared identity.
