Episode 8

Welcome to the Full Dig Podcast. This week we will be discussing the 8th Commandment to not steal.

Behind this commandment lies the Bible’s view of property. Our basic human existence requires not only life and health (protected by the sixth commandment) and committed relationships (covered by the seventh commandment), but a minimum of "stuff," a basic material infrastructure for life: food, clothing, shelter, tools and so on. That is why the eighth commandment declares, "You shall not steal" (Ex 20:15 par. Deut 5:19).
