In this episode, Daniel and I start a short series on typology. To start, we discuss some of the problems we had with our template for prophecy growing up. This episode is meant to lay the table for a better way to view how the Old Testament is used in the New.

1 Corinthians 11:2-16 | Paul, ”Hair,” and Head coverings | BP Ep. 44

Buckle up because this one is weird!
Daniel and I continue the theme of what it means for the Bible to communicate in a particular time and place. Moving away from the Old Testament, we go to the New, seeing what awaits us there. In 1 Corinthians 11, Paul has a section many have scratched their head over for years. He is concerned with order in worship, authority, and marriage structure and oddly fixated on the length of people's hair. The answer to the last question will give us the keys to understanding his argument "from nature" for the rest of it.

#johnhwalton #genesis Continuing our discussion on Genesis, Daniel and I move on with Walton's lecture to discuss the difference between the story of a "house" and a "home." We bring up the power of these narratives, and I bring up "Dune" too much.

How are we to View Creation? Walton and Genesis Pt.1 | BP Ep. 42
Tuesday Aug 02, 2022
Tuesday Aug 02, 2022
As Daniel and I continue to look at how place and time affect communication, we look back to the first few pages of the Bible, examining how the ancient near east context informs what is being communicated in the creation story. With the help of John H. Walton, we hope to provide a richer interpretation.

In the last episode, Daniel and I reacted to the first half of a talk by Tim Mackie on the canonization of the Bible, focusing on the canonization of the Old Testament. In this half of the conversation, Daniel and I look at the textual strains of the Bible, how they are different, and why translators pick the words they do when putting the Hebrew canon into English. I also introduce a textual difference between the Masoretic and Septuagent texts that have large theological implications.

As we continue to explore what it means for us to read the Bible well, an excellent question to ask is, "How did we get the Bible?" We had to break up the conversation, but in this episode, Daniel and I react to Tim Mackies Lecture, "The Making of the Bible." Focusing on the Old Testament canon here, we uncover some important facts that meld well with how we have been talking about inspiration.

Reacting to a video by Ben S, Daniel and I discuss how purely relying on the Holy Spirit to help the Christian interpret the Bible is not only lazy but goes against what the Scriptures actually say.
