Babble about Babel

Sorry I’m late with this! Busy times with the Faith at Work Summit (which you really should join us for).

TGR carries the first of my new series on Babel:

The potentially unlimited height of the tower is emphasized to invoke the futile hope that without God to get in our way, we can grow without limit. There is a note of absurdity in the cry of v. 4: “Let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens!” The darkened mind flees from God because it flees from limits, above all from limits to its own power.

Let me know what you think!
