So, we've been diving into the Old Testament and exploring these cool things called undesigned coincidences that serve as evidence for the trustworthiness of the Bible. Another kind of undesignedness that can crop up is when we look at instances where information is assumed by the author but not explicitly spelled out. JJ Blunt called the 'uniformity of expressive silence' – where repeated omissions seem to carry meaning.
Today, I want to zoom in on some of these gems within the story of Isaac and Rebecca, and Jesus and his Joseph.
