In this season, we're taking a Journey through the Old Testament. In the Bible's big story, Act 2 is humanity's rebellion against God and his kingdom. What are we to make of the sneaky serpent and that tempting fruit in Genesis chapter 3? What does all this say about what sin is?

Here in Season 1, we're taking a Journey through the Old Testament. Act 1 of the Bible's big story is the creation of God's kingdom and his rule over that good world he made.

Any kingdom has 3 things, all of which are present in Eden…and renewed at the end of the Bible. These 3 elements give us a picture we can see from beginning to end of the Bible's story of creation, fall, and redemption. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/redemptivelyspeaking/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/redemptivelyspeaking/support

Here in Season 1, we're taking a Journey through the Old Testament. We often talk about the Bible as a story or the “Bible's big story.” But what is the significance of thinking about the Old Testament and the Bible itself in this way? In this episode, Bryan explores the idea of the Bible as story and myth, a grand narrative that explains how the world works and why it is the way it is. But, as C.S. Lewis so famously said, the Bible is the one myth that happens to be true. We also look at the 6 simple parts of the Bible's story and the main theological themes in the Old Testament that are the beginning of that story. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/redemptivelyspeaking/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/redemptivelyspeaking/support

In this episode, Bryan talks about the geographical and political setting of the Ancient Near East, the world and time in history in which the Old Testament takes place.
