Manage episode 476933565 series 3364363
We explore the story of Babel and how humanity's quest for independence from God led to confusion and scattering. We discuss how their attempt to construct their own identity led to their downfall, and the irony of their city name, Babel, which means "confusion" in Hebrew but "gate of the gods" in Akkadian.
