Description

tvDocumentary

The idea for That the World May Know films began in 1992 when Michigan entrepreneur Ed Prince became exposed to Ray Vander Laan's unique method of Bible teaching. Ray, or RVL as he is affectionately known, has always believed that to more greatly understand and appreciate the Bible, one had to have a sense of the land and the culture from which it sprang. Biblical analogies and examples, while meaningful and helpful even to this day, were first meant to convey God's truth to particular people in a particular time and place. So the more fully we can appreciate those times and places, the more fully we can respond to the power of the Word.

Episode 5Iron of Culture

Lesson 1.5 | Iron of Culture Living for God Where Culture Is Influenced In ancient times, the control of iron technology represented power and influence. The Philistines, with their mastery of iron, initially held an advantage over the Israelites. The lesson explores how, around the time of King David, the Israelites learned to work iron, becoming the dominant culture in the region. It is suggested that David may have learned this technology while living among the Philistines. The lesson draws a parallel between ancient "iron" and the tools and technologies of our modern culture, such as law, education, music, politics, and the internet. These are presented as means by which believers can positively influence the world.
