What if Genesis 1 wasn't about the origin of matter—but the enthronement of God? And what if “rest” wasn't the end of work, but the beginning of reign? In this episode, Rachel Booth Smith, author of Rest Assured, joins Dru Johnson to explore how the Genesis creation story contrasts with other ancient Near Eastern accounts. With a storyteller's gift and a pastor's heart, Smith explains how comparing biblical cosmogony to Egyptian or Hittite myths can actually strengthen, not weaken, our faith in the text. “Sometimes the campfire would get very upset,” she says, imagining ancient neighbors reacting to Genesis' claim that the sun and moon are just objects—not gods. She also unpacks the significance of Sabbath as sacred reign, not divine nap time. “Rest is like saying sitting down at a throne because everything is operating correctly,” she explains. The seven-day structure wasn't arbitrary—it was holy, “marked out,” signaling both the order of creation and the rhythm of life. Most importantly, Rachel shows how this re-reading of Genesis leads us to trust. “If I can get to the end of a Sabbath and realize you are God and I am not, I feel like that was a win.” For Rachel's book "Rest Assured," head here: https://www.moodypublishers.com/rest-assured/ We are listener supported.

Series: Great Is the Mystery of Godliness Part 1: The Foundation and Framework of Godliness 1 Timothy 3:14–15 "These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." The Apostle Paul wrote his first letter to Timothy while pastoring in Ephesus, a bustling city filled with paganism, trade, and idolatry. Towering above the landscape stood the magnificent Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World — held up by over a hundred marble pillars. It was the pride of the city, the centre of false worship, and the picture Paul uses when he writes that the church is the pillar and ground of the truth. Paul's purpose is simple: the local church must reflect the living God in both belief and behaviour.

The church in Ephesus stood in the shadow of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. It was massive, beautiful, and filled with idols. Yet Paul reminded Timothy that the true wonder of the world was not made of stone but of people.   In this message, Gene Coleman, an elder at CrossPointe, teaches from 1 Timothy 3:14–16, showing that the church is the household of God, the gathering of the living God, and the pillar and foundation of the truth. The world may build temples of pride and self-worship, but God is building a family that displays His truth through godly conduct, gospel identity, and the mystery of Christ.

The city of Ephesus was one of the crown jewels of the Roman Empire; rich, religious, and restless. It was home to the temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and a center for magic, trade, and spiritual darkness. When Paul entered this city, he didn't come with political influence or wealth, but with the power of the Gospel. Because of the Gospel the entire spiritual landscape of Ephesus began to shift. In Acts 19, we see what happens when the reign of Christ collides with the idols of culture. It's a story of revival, repentance, and resistance. This pattern that still repeats today whenever the gospel truly takes root in the hearts of a community.

In this episode, we explore the story of Clytemnestra, one of the most infamous figures of Greek tragedy, remembered for murdering her husband Agamemnon upon his return from Troy. But who was Clytemnestra beyond the label of “murderess”We'll examine her story through the lens of ancient myth and literature, comparing her to her sisters Penelope and Helen, two women often idealized or vilified in very different ways.Why does Penelope become the model of loyalty, Helen the emblem of beauty and destruction, and Clytemnestra the embodiment of vengeance? What does this say about how ancient Greek society and our modern world constructs archetypes of women?Chapters(0:00) – Introduction(1:34) – Melinoe, Hermes & Sources on the Gods(2:26) – Mars the Kitty Update (4:32) – The Story of Clytemnestra(13:10) – Why Was Clytemnestra's Offense So Shocking in the Ancient World?(21:14) – Clytemnestra, Penelope & Helen: Queens Compared(28:19) – Why Do We Still Pit Women Against Each OtherCheck out our Patreon, Styx and Bones Temple's Store, Blogs and more! https://beacons.ai/styxandboness⁠FOLLOW STYX AND BONES ON SOCIAL MEDIAhttps://www.instagram.com/styxandbonespodcast⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW HIGH PRIESTESS CHELSEA⁠https://www.instagram.com/highpriestesschelsea⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW DR.

In the final episode of our "Mind Matters" series, we take an epic journey through time to understand how our perception of brain disorders has evolved. This historical narrative explains why modern stigma is a ghost of our past, rooted in centuries of fear and misinformation. We travel from the Ancient World, where holes were drilled in skulls to release demons, to the Middle Ages, with its witch hunts and the infamous "Bedlam" asylum. We explore the contradictions of the 19th Century, which gave us both humane "moral treatment" and the pseudoscience of phrenology. Finally, we chart the revolutions of the 20th and 21st centuries: Freud's talking cure, the discovery of psychotropic medications, the creation of the DSM, and the dawn of neuroimaging that allows us to see the living brain. This is the story of humanity's quest to understand itself. To unlock full access to all our episodes, consider becoming a premium subscriber on Apple Podcasts or Patreon.

Virtually all ancient civilisations considered the celestial bodies and their movements of great importance, even incorporating astronomical events into the design of their sacred temples and monuments. The Egyptians, Babylonians, Mesopotamians, Chinese, Incas, Mayans and Aztecs worshipped the sun, moon, and stars. They built splendid sacred monuments that reflected astronomical events associated with the movement of the planets and stars. They were revered as gods to be worshipped and considered vital to people's day-to-day lives. These ancient people believed the stars carried an important message for humanity. Interestingly, these majestic stars do have a message for us today. Join Gary on a journey to some of the most magnificent sacred sites in the ancient world to discover the message of the stars – a message that will hold you spellbound.

WIVES OF THE ROMANS: 1/8: The Missing Thread: A Women's History of the Ancient World Hardcover – July 30, 2024 by  Daisy Dunn  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Missing-Thread-Womens-History-Ancient/dp/0593299663 Around four thousand years ago, the mysterious Minoans sculpted statues of topless women with snakes slithering on their arms. Over one thousand years later, Sappho wrote great poems of longing and desire. For classicist Daisy Dunn, these women—whether they were simply sitting at their looms at home or participating in the highest echelons of power—were up to something much more interesting than other histories would lead us to believe. Together, these women helped to make antiquity as we know it. In this monumental work, Dunn reconceives our understanding of the ancient world by emphasizing women's roles within it. The Missing Thread never relegates women to the sidelines and is populated with well-known names such as Cleopatra and Agrippina, as well as the likes of Achaemenid consort Atossa and Olympias, a force in Macedon. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire. The women of antiquity are undeniably woven throughout the fabric of history, and in The Missing Thread they finally take center stage. 1593 ROMAN WOMEN

July 7, 2007. In a dramatic ceremony featuring pop stars, fireworks, and smoke cannons, the Colosseum is named one of the seven new wonders of the world. It's an appropriately over-the-top blowout for an arena which, centuries before, was home to its own lavish events. How did spectacles once unfold on the floor of this ancient arena? And how did the Romans use games to entertain people and to control them? Special thanks to our guests, Alison Futrell, co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Sport and Spectacle in the Ancient World, and Barry Strauss, author of The War That Made the Roman Empire: Antony, Cleopatra, and Octavian at Actium. ** This episode originally aired July 4, 2022.

In this episode of Two Friends Talk History, host Zofia is joined by Stefano Carlo Sala, a doctoral researcher at the University of St Andrews, to explore the fascinating world of Dionysius of Halicarnassus—a Greek historian living in Rome at the dawn of the Empire. Together, they dive into how Dionysius used monuments, myth, and memory to connect early Roman history to a classical Greek past. If you're curious about how contemporaneous historians tried to explain Rome's rise, justify its rule over the Greek world, and shape cultural identity in an evolving political landscape, this episode is for you.

* Check out the new Thinker's Tavern discussion series athttps://www.instituteforfemininemyth.org/thinkers-tavern  *This week's podcast looks at the figure of Hermaphroditus, son of Hermes (Mercury) and Aphrodite (Venus), and his encounter with the aggressive nymph Salmacis, her prayer turning them into a single being that is both male and female and neither at the same time. While Salmacis is often viewed as an aggressive woman attacking an innocent boy, an inscription at Salmacis' pool in Halicarnassus suggests a very different view of the myth. We explore the idea of the Hermaphrodite as representing the bonds of marriage and ideas about marriage, as well as its connection to Plato's myth of the proto-human in the Symposium. The articles referenced in the podcast were:Kelly, Peter.

More than 2,000 years ago, someone sat down and wrote a travel bucket list for the ancient world — suggesting must-see places that we now call The Seven Wonders of the World. It was kind of a Lonely Planet guide of its time, and included the Pyramid of Giza, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the lighthouse of Alexandria, and the Temple of Artemis, among others. Historian Bettany Hughes brings monuments and archaeological discoveries back to life in her book, The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 

Guest: Daisy Dunn is an award-winning classicist and the author of The Missing Thread: A Women's History of the Ancient World.  Her website is www.daisydunn.co.uk. The post Women In The Ancient World appeared first on KPFA.

For millennia, humans eked out survival atop the surface of the Earth and land had no unique value. Eventually, however, humans turned land into an advantage. For several thousand years, control of land meant control of natural resources, like water and wild animals. For several thousand more years it meant agricultural production, raising domesticated animals, harvesting timber. And finally, land became economic might invested in Kings, chiefs, and political leaders around the globe. Large landowners sat atop the pyramid of social hierarchy. Today’s guest is Michael Albertus, author of “Land Power: Who Has It, Who Doesn’t, and How That Determines the Fate of Societies.” We see how modern history has been defined by land reallocation on a massive scale. From the 1500s on, European colonial powers and new nation-states shifted indigenous lands into the hands of settlers. The 1900s brought new waves of land appropriation, from Soviet and Maoist collectivization to initiatives turning large estates over to family farmers. The shuffle continues today as governments vie for power and prosperity by choosing who should get land.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
