What shapes our theological and prophetic voice? A sort of unidentified "common sense," or do we still insist on our Scriptures? In my paper, I am focusing on the history of interpretation of the challenging story of Lot and his daughters (Gen 19:30-38). The biblical narrative depicts an abandoned family, a father with his two desperate daughters in a remote cave. A baffling story followed by diverse interpretations; however, the paper goes beyond the supposed manners of ancient people. I will try to show the limits of a context dependent interpretation of the biblical text.
