I continue the series about how certain pieces of content and thinkers changed my mind from a literal understanding of Genesis to a more mythological one. In this episode, I explore content from John Lennox and Jordan Peterson that exposed the ways in which literal 7-day creationists impose a purely scientific view on the creation story.

The Belfast Podcast exists to help recapture the Christain imagination. Luke and Daniel see the trend of modernism doing no favors for a vibrant view of scripture. It is our goal to widen the field of vision for modern people reading the Bible as we grapple with its ancient context, literary beauty, and symbolic underpinnings. You may have been taught to read texts with an eye for their literary and symbolic structures in English courses in high school and/or college, but rarely is this taught to seminary students or lay Christians alike when it comes to the Bible. We want to keep this eye for symbolism, repetition, and structure as we investigate the Biblical canon, linking it to modern and old examples that are extemporaneous yet connected to aid in giving the broader field of vision mentioned earlier. Come along with us on our journey to read your bible again for the first time. We hope that through the words of those that have come before us, we can give Western Christianity its imagination back.
