The conversation this episode opens.
Scripture: Exodus 21:1–36
What does the passage establish, and how can we understand, connect, and respond?
By the end of this teaching: Explain how the case laws distinguish circumstances and restrain some harms while honestly naming their unequal setting and reading Christian responsibility through Christ.
Name the household inequalities rather than explaining them away
Distinguish intentional violence and the hardest injury cases
Read proportionality and foreseeable harm concretely
Read through Christ without using context to dismiss the harm
A practice to consider: A fictional manager ignores a known hazard and later says harm was unintended. Name a relevant record and an immediate protective step without deciding the unseen case.
