video reflection
Different cultures have different conceptions of the human heart, what it is and what it does, and the biblical authors are no exception. In this video, we’ll explore the ancient Hebrew words for “heart” as well as the different ideas of what our hearts represent. There is no biblical word that captures better the essence of human thought, feeling, and desire than this rich and wonderful word.

One Response
The information that “heart” meant so much more to people at that time isn’t terribly surprising, but it definitely puts a ton of meaning into the word we may not always attribute to it.
