"How does one appease a deity? Gain a favor? Avert a curse?" Such questions stood at the center of Ancient Near Eastern religion (and of many cultures since...). And thus great effort has been dedicated to rituals and ceremonies and strict adherence to divine instructions.

So what does the God of Israel want from his people? What are our instructions? (And is our purpose to gain a blessing or escape a punishment??)

In this episode we turn to the OT prophet Micah's succinct articulation of God's answer.

If you'd like to follow along, the passage is:

Micah 6:6-8 (NRSV)
