“It was our curiosity about the Bible that is now leading to conclusions that are no longer welcome in these institutions.”Pete Enns and Jared Byas host The Bible for Normal People, a podcast which is loved by some, lambasted by others. They started it as a way to have honest conversations about the Bible, for folks both religious and non-religious -- conversations that cost them both previous jobs at religious institutions.In this episode, they discuss the complexity of the Bible, and what their work has taught them about courage, curiosity, humility, and the dangers of certainty.Show NotesResources mentioned this episode:The Sin of Certainty by Pete EnnsHow the Bible Actually Works by Pete EnnsLove Matters More by Jared ByasThe Bible for Normal PeoplePDF of Lee's Interview NotesTranscription LinkSimilar No Small Endeavor episodes:Amy-Jill Levine: A Jewish Take on JesusJesuitical: How Young Catholics See the WorldN.T.

Dr. Peter Enns returns to the podcast to discuss his new book Curve-ball - When Your Faith Takes Turns You Never Saw Coming* or How I Stumbled and Tripped My Way to Finding a Bigger God. Pete admits it's the longest title in the history of publishing. The popular professor, author (see show notes for his many other books), and podcaster (The Bible for Normal People) drops his guard like never before sharing his spiritual and intellectual journey from his days as an aspiring baseball player to progressive Christian thinker. "Wrestling with God and Scripture is very old and completely normal. Actually, it's God-activated," he says. In reviewing the book, Ken and Pete talk about Noah, Jonah, and Jesus as archetypes in the struggle. Richard Rohr, David Bentley Hart, Thomas Oord and Rachel Held Evans get honorable mention as guides. Evolution is a major "curveball" for many Christians. Pete is especially interested in the chaos and "weirdness" of physics and quantum mechanics, all of which have opened Pete's mind and heart to a much bigger and more profound notion of God. While Pete avoids the clichéd use of the over-used and misappropriated descriptor, "deconstruction," he traces a normal, natural, and healthy evolution in our understanding of faith and our relationship to the God of the Universe.

We also talk about what drove Jared's faith to shift while he was pastoring in a large church, what he now sees differently from the Christianity he grew up with, and his Choctaw nation heritage and how that shapes who he is and how he sees the world.

From the #waybackmachine I hope you enjoy this rereleased chat that Jared and I had. I still reference this one quite often.Support the show: Patreon l Glow l Episode TranscriptIs the Bible inerrant? This is a huge question and one that matters for our faith. If it's not what does this do for authority and how should we read it? Guest Bio:Jared studied under Dr. Peter Enns in the early 2000s, he was also a teaching pastor and professor near Philadelphia, teaching courses and developing curricula in philosophy, ethics, & biblical studies. In 2011 he launched a creative solutions company and in 2013 had the opportunity to partner with an old friend to launch Experience Institute, an experience-based gxraduate program in Chicago.Somewhere in there dictatorial Dr. Peter Enns became a dear friend and in 2012, Jared had the privilege, with Pete, to co-author Genesis for Normal People. Now, he writes regularly on peteenns.com because Pete clearly needed a celebrity with a huge platform to help boost page views. Pete and Jared have also started a podcast called The Bible For Normal People, which is well worth your listen.
