WHY Is Judges 19 So MESSED UP?! [A Levite and His Concubine]

Let's recap this Bible story: Judges 19 is the story of a Levite and his concubine. Biblical critics often highlight the mistreatment of women in this story. It's even been called one of the "texts of terror". In this video we take a look at what's really going on and explain this crazy and messed up tale from the book of Judges.

IMPORTANT NOTE: It should be noted that the Levite takes his concubine home before cutting her up (this is not stated directly in the video). It's not clear in the Hebrew if she was alive when he did so.
