050 - Exploring Scripture 5 - Envelopes, Repetition, Repetition, Inclusio

In this episode, Phil and Erin dive into the importance of repetition in Scripture. Authors would repeat words, sometimes right next to each other and sometimes at the very beginning and end of a book or letter, to point out a major theme or give direction for how to understand everything else they are writing about. We discuss passages from all over Scripture to help you see how repetition can bring God's living Word to life for us today.
