This lecture will examine the biblical portrayal of the ancient Israelites’ relationships with their neighbors through the stories of Rahab, Samson, and David. It will explore how the concept of belonging can deepen our understanding of the complex and sometimes contradictory attitudes held by the Israelites toward other peoples.
