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.

Daniel and I have another, more pointed, conversation around inspiration and inerrancy. We discuss, again, the major views taken on inspiration, what can be problematic with some of them, and how these views get expressed when talking about inerrancy.
While having this discussion, we use a video from Michael Heiser, investigating what it means to say the Bible is a "channel book." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu5ey2nztRQ
Later, we react to a podcast episode from N.T. Wright in which he brings up some of the same issues. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4bJr8LpjVN3U5mTyUJgwrP?si=7a9a20b49339464a Belfast email: belfastpodcast@gmail.com

In his book "Reaching Out: Three Spiritual Movements" Henri Nouwen starts talking about the move from loneliness to solitude. I read to Daniel in this episode from the first chapter, "A Suffocating Loneliness," and we discussed how we have felt these things in our lives.

What do we mean when we ask for Scripture's "literal" meaning? Is there a "neutral reading" one can have of the Bible? What is the battle between the scientific atheist and fundamentalist?
