A Talking Donkey in the Bible? | Jim Coakley
Did you know that there is a talking donkey in the Bible? This is one of the most surprising and fascinating stories in Scripture. It reminds us that because we are so grounded in this earthly reality, we don’t always see the spiritual realm. That unusual story in the Old Testament book of Numbers highlights just one of the animals in our Today in the Word devotional Bible study: Animals in the Bible. We’ll also talk about the 153 fish mentioned in John 21 and the ravens who brought Elijah dinner. Listen in to this fun and informative conversation with the author of the Bible study: Dr. James Coakley. He is a professor of Bible at Moody Bible Institute and the author of a book titled 14 Fresh Ways to Enjoy the Bible.
