Does God respond to nagging in Luke 18? video discussion

by

The Sunday lectionary gospel reading for Trinity 18 in Year C is the Parable of the Unjust Judge and the Persistent Widow from Luke 18.1–8. A surface reading, confirmed by most online comments on it, is that basically we need to be nagging God before he will answer our prayer! But a more careful reading, locating the episode within the context of Luke’s wider narrative, points to some important new perspectives.

Join James and Ian as they discuss the details of the text, the issues it raises, and some of its practical implications.
