David Wilhite and Adam Winn are back for part two of their conversation with David Capes on "The Stone Chapel Podcast." They have written an important book that explores the nature of Judaism at the time of Jesus and the early church. In particular, they are interested in what Jews thought about God's Names, attributes, and his oneness. A good deal of this conversation is given to the mysterious figure of the Son of Man.

How did the earliest Christians, who were Jews, who believed in one God, come to identify Jesus with Israel's Lord? Or did they? Are we misunderstanding them altogether? These are some of the questions David Wilhite and Adam Winn have set out to answer in a new and upcoming series at Fortress Press. Their first book is, "Israel's Lord: Yahweh as 'Two Powers' in Second Temple Literature." This is the first of two podcasts on the topic.

Did you know Exodus is in the New Testament? Not all of it, of course. It's the second book of the Old Testament. But New Testament writers often quote from it, allude to it, and take some of its key themes as a way to describe how God was working in, through, and by Jesus. Seth Ehorn has edited an important book of the same title as part of the "Library of New Testament Studies: Exodus in the New Testament." Seth Ehorn joined David Capes on "The Stone Chapel Podcast" to talk about his book. He is a bright, young scholar worth watching and listening to.

In Matthew's genealogy (ch. 1), Mary the Mother of Jesus is the last of five women mentioned by the evangelist. As Jesus' mother, she has a special role in the plan of redemption. Nancy Dawson joins David Capes today to talk about this remarkable woman. Some Protestants mute her because some other Jesus followers hold her in such high regard. But the Scriptures give her a large voice (Luke 1-2) at the occasion of the Incarnation. Dr. Dawson is author of an important book, "All the Genealogies of the Bible" (Zondervan Academic).

Scientist and genealogist, Dr. Nancy Dawson, is back on this episode of The Stone Chapel Podcast to talk about another “grandmother” of Jesus. Bathsheba is not named in Matthew's genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1). She is referred to as “the wife of Uriah.” David fathered Solomon “through the wife of Uriah.” Matthew's comment on the genealogy echoes the scandalous episode in King David's life when he took the wife of another man and then had him killed. Jesus' ancestry is not squeaky clean. No, his family consisted of deeply flawed and troubled people who needed to be forgiven and redeemed. No wonder, Jesus was called a friend of sinners. Next week Nancy returns to talk about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Dr. Dawson is author of an important book, "All the Genealogies of the Bible" (Zondervan Academic).

This week Dr. Nancy Dawson is back to talk about two other remarkable women, grandmothers of Jesus: Rahab and Ruth. These women became famous as converts to the faith of Abraham and are part of the family line of Jesus. What else do they have in common? Listen to Nancy, and see if you can figure it out.

Matthew's Gospel begins with the genealogy of Jesus and includes five remarkable women, one of whom was his mother. In this episode, scientist and genealogist, Nancy Dawson unpacks the story of the least known of the women, Tamar. Matthew's inclusion of these women was purposeful not accidental, but why? Listen to Nancy, and I think you will know why. Dr. Dawson is author of an important book, "All the Genealogies of the Bible" (Zondervan Academic).

Dr. Ingrid Faro is Professor of Old Testament at Northern Seminary in the western suburbs of Chicago. She was recently a Visiting Scholar at the Lanier Theological Library in Houston and sat down with David Capes to talk about her book, Demystifying Evil. Ingrid began her study of evil and suffering after an extensive period of trauma and abuse. Thus, her book is an intensely personal book as well as a biblical exploration. For those who wrestle with principalities and powers, those who have perpetuated their own evil, or those who have suffered as a result of sickness or a natural disaster, this is a book for you. This is Dr. Faro's second appearance on The Stone Chapel Podcast. To hear her first podcast with us, “Deconstructing Evil,” click here.

Recently, Dr. James McGrath, professor of New Testament Literature at Butler University, made his first visit on The Stone Chapel Podcast. He and David Capes discussed his new book, Christmaker: A Life of John the Baptist (Eerdmans). The provocative title came to McGrath to describe the life and legacy of the Baptist. McGrath shares with us his inclinations to write the book and some of the things he learned along the way. Many in the west have a hard time understanding how in certain circles John the Baptist was, and still is, more popular than Jesus of Nazareth. Still, the sources inside and outside the Bible reveal John to be a powerful and polarizing figure for his day. After writing the book, McGrath came to think; if we don't pay attention to John the Baptist, we will find that we misunderstand Jesus.

Dr. Michael Bird returns to The Stone Chapel Podcast to talk with David Capes about his recent book, co-authored with Tom Wright, entitled Jesus and the Powers: Christian Political Witness in an Age of Totalitarian Terror and Dysfunctional Democracies. Bird and Wright teamed up to write about politics, the kingdom of God, and theology in light of the polarized nature of western societies. They make a compelling case that followers of Jesus need actually to follow Jesus in his teachings about the kingdom of God as an antidote to the competitive and destructive nature of politics these days. If you think Jesus had more to say about life than how to get to heaven when you die, this is a book you need to read and study. It will lead you deeper into Scripture.

Constantine Campbell, professor and research director at the Sydney College of Divinity in Australia, joins David Capes on The Stone Chapel Podcast to talk about a new edition of a well-known book, Basics of Verbal Aspect in Biblical Greek (2nd edition, Zondervan Language Basics Series).

Con, as his friends know him, is also an amazing jazz saxophonist. We include a snippet of one of his songs, “Lykabettus” from the album Athina, released in March 2024.

Esau McCaulley (PhD, St. Andrews University) joins David Capes on the Stone Chapel Podcast to discuss his upcoming lecture at the Lanier Theological Library, October 12, 2024. His title is “The Gospels and the Anti-Slavery Movement.” Many scholars and critics of the Bible conclude that the proper reading of the Christian Scripture promotes slavery and is thus immoral. Indeed, the best cases made from the Bible during the anti-slavery movement were on the side of the slave owners and defenders. Esau McCaulley challenges that conclusion; he says the best readings of Scripture were on the side of the abolitionists. In this lecture McCaulley will show how the life and teachings of Jesus ultimately undermine one of humanity's oldest and gravest sins.

John Peckham returns to The Stone Chapel Podcast to discuss a new book, titled "Why We Pray: Understanding Prayer in the Context of Cosmic Conflict" (Baker Academic, 2024). Rather than conceiving of prayer as merely communication one to another, Peckham asks of us to put prayer within the context of what is and has been going on since creation; there is a conflict between God and the principalities and power. There are conflicts too between human beings and God. In particular, Peckham's book tackles the thorny question of seemingly unanswered prayers. Check out John's earlier book, "The Theodicy of Love."

World acclaimed mathematician and Christian scholar, John Lennox, returns to the Stone Chapel Podcast, this time to talk with David Capes about his recent book, Friend of God: The Inspiration of Abraham in an Age of Doubt (SPCK, 2024). Lennox writes about Abraham with passion and insight into the whole of Scripture. Abraham's faith becomes the stuff of Paul's argumentation regarding faith in Christ in Galatians and Romans. So, Abraham is an exemplar for faith and trust in all eras. In his last podcast John talked with David Capes about Artificial Intelligence and the future of humanity. To hear that podcast click here.
