The conversation covers how English readers can detect biases, the significance of diverse translation teams, and the dangers of relying on one translation alone.

Dr. Ciampa explores the complexity of Bible translation, through his experiences both as a translator and professor of Bible translation, working beside translation teams worldwide. He considers both challenges and opportunities facing translation teams given the limited resources of translators in the majority world in contrast to the wealth of the minority world and its capacity, therefore, to influence translation teams worldwide as they depend on translations produced by the majority world and those widely available to teams/communities without a translation in their mother tongue. Small translation teams depend on larger, well-funded teams in the West and hence their influence worldwide. Bible translations can be (and are) commissioned by individuals who share a particular theological view of male-authority, e.g. the ESV. Other teams rely on consultants who provide an additional layer of oversight and diversity. As women are now receiving the same education as men, women are joining Bible translation teams and serve as consultants more and more, especially in the majority world. Roy observes that minimizing translation bias was the result not only of diverse translation teams but also accessibility to a variety of translations in one's mother tongue. Roy also points out “reading” the Bible well plays a critical role in grasping the full thrust of Scripture as a primary means of guarding against translator bias. Finally, Roy explores how one language, e.g. Portuguese is spoken very differently in various regions around the world. He considers the importance of including more paratextual information explaining the background and significance of many of the passages that have impacted women or that could more positively impact women should be a priority. Increasing the number and roles of women in the translation work would help not only in helping teams pay closer attention to these issues, but also in helping the teams understand how the translation or interpretation of these passages impacts the lived experience of their mothers, sisters, daughters, and other women today, leading to a greater prioritization of this issue. Guest Bio: Dr. Roy Ciampa: is the S. Louis and Ann W. Armstrong Professor of Religion and Chair of the Religion Department at Samford University. Roy served the Nida Institute for Biblical for the American Bible Society providing advanced professional development in biblical studies, Bible translation and Scripture engagement to leaders in that area of scholarship worldwide. He also served as Professor of New Testament and chaired the Division of Biblical Studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where he continues to provide leadership for their Doctor of Ministry track in Bible Translation. Before that, Roy was a missionary professor of biblical studies in Portugal and served as a translator for the Portuguese Bible Society's contemporary Portuguese translation of Scripture. Dr. Ciampa has authored numerous scholarly essays on NT themes, especially on the interpretation of the Old Testament within the New Testament, but also on issues more directly related to Bible translation (including articles that address translation issues in Acts 17:11 and 1 Corinthians 7:1 that became footnotes in the CSB. He is also that author of a book on The Presence and Function of Scripture in Gal 1 and 2, and co-author with Brian Rosner of the Pillar Commentary on 1 Corinthians. Roy is an ordained minister.

February 25 - Sanctuary Worship - Practice Makes Possible: "Using the Bible Well" by FFMC Seattle
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.- 2nd Timothy 3:16-17
Theologian, analytic philosopher, apologist and author Paul Copan answers the questions about God's character that Christians often get from nonbelievers looking to paint God as violent, misogynistic and racist. The author of Is God a Vindictive Bully? explains in this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Jeff Myers that to get the full insight into God's goodness requires us to read Scripture in the context of both its cultural time and its literary genres. "God is not wrathful in spite of love," he notes. "He's wrathful because of love." Listen to every episode of the Dr. Jeff Show wherever you listen to podcasts.

Dr. Jonathan Pennington of Southern Seminary (SBTS) joins us to talk about his new book Come and See: The Journey of Knowing God Through Scripture. We talk about three ways of reading Scripture well: informationally, theologically, and transformationally. Each of these stages challenges us to grow in our understanding of the word of God in practical and tangible ways. We read informationally by using our cognitive faculties to grasp content or information in Scripture. We read theologically when we pay attention to the whole scope of the Bible and the church's tradition of interpretation via creeds and confessions as we engage with texts. Finally, We read transformationally when we slow down and prayerfully apply Scripture to our lives and receive it as a means through which God meets us and changes us by the Holy Spirit.

Wendy Alsup and Amber discuss her time as deacon of women's theology at Mars Hill Church, how and why she was able to continue clinging to Jesus in the midst of suffering, and what a good Jesus hermeneutic has to do with it. Questions Discussed During Clinging to God When Your Church Falls Apart: You served as a Deacon in charge of Women's Theology and Training at Mars Hill in Seattle. Share your experience of stepping into that role and the ways you were able to serve women during that season With the success of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast, many now have a more robust view of power struggles and abuse in the church. Were you able to continue teaching and serving women practical theology on a weekly basis, while behind the scenes the staff was “blowing up”? Expound on that a bit. You eventually left. What was that process like for you both emotionally and spiritually? What I love about your story is you didn't walk away from God or the Bible despite being deeply wounded by God's people. At one point you said, “A lot of people had problems with Mark Driscoll and just wrote off the Bible: ‘Well, if that's what the Bible teacher says, obviously, there's something wrong with the Bible.' But I believed in the Bible a long time before I ever got to know Mark Driscoll, and I'm going to believe in it now. So I don't think the problem's with the Bible.” Talk to us about what you think made a difference in your clinging to God and His Word vs. friends, colleagues, strangers who walk away. I think having written books like, Practical Theology for Women and The Gospel-Centered Woman helped to ground you in truth of God's character and what He says about His people, but not everyone has the foundation. Speak directly to the wounded soul, particularly the one who's been wounded by those in a position of spiritual authority. In “I Forgive You,” you weave some of your own personal journey of forgiveness in with the story of Joseph and how we witness him forgive. What hope do we find in Joseph's story? How can we apply some of those same principles to the people we need to forgive? SHOW NOTES cont.

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music
We often forget the people described in the Bible were real. Can I add, especially Jesus? We read of Jesus' triumphant victory over death and the grave in each gospel and His instructions to His disciples before He ascends to the Father. CAIN's song "The Commission" beautifully portrays this transition reminding us how precious His disciples are to Him. May we explore the "end" of each gospel with a renewed sense of Christ's humanity, never taking our eyes off of His authority and divinity. In this episode, I discuss: Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include: Read in context Share with friend How the "helps" in our Bible might actually distract us more than help us Glenn Paauw quote, "We have made it hard for people to just flat out read the Bible..." - DesiringGod.org Interview "Saving the Bible from Ourselves: Learning to Read and Live the Bible Well" by Glenn Paauw - Paid Amazon Link Immerse Bible Resources - ImmerseBible.com Elevating God's Word over words about God's Word "The Great Commission" - Matthew 28:16-20 Examining "The Great Commission" in light of the definition of "commission" Sowing the seeds that have been planted in you Locating areas of Scripture to study mentioned in "The Commission" by CAIN (even better to read all of these chapters by backing up and reading the chapters leading into them) Matthew 28 Mark 16 John 20 Luke 24 Acts 1 John 14 Revelation 1:18 More Than a Song Playlist Additional Resources Lyrics for "The Commission" by C.A.I.N. - New Release Today The story behind the song "The Commission" by C.A.I.N. - YouTube Video "The Commission" thoughts on the song by CAIN (all three members of CAIN on this video) - YouTube Video "What is deconstruction?

We are striving for more wisdom. Speaking of wisdom, do you know why I appreciate the Bible? Well, one, there is a ton of wisdom. Two, it doesn't sugar coat. It tells your short life on this broken planet will be tough. In fact, the elite all stars (Moses, Ruth, Daniel, Jeremiah, Joseph, Jesus and all his disciples) experienced brutal. They all endured man at his worst. Slavery is in there. Again, show's man's ugliness and making oneself God to control others. Slavery is man made. Also shows how God's chosen ones endured it and triumphed. It's safe to say we are all appalled by slavery. Flip side, odds are you are enslaved to something. You may not even realized it until now. Debt, addiction, alcohol, opioids, sugar, overeating, money, your job, adultery, another person, porn.. Need I go on? As Casey encouraged, God is in the freedom business. Jesus will take what ails you and help you triumph. God's Holy Spirit will guide you. You need to ask. You also need to be ready that it won't be an instant answer. One cannot get stronger without resistance. The more resistance you encounter, the greater the opportunity for strength and triumph. God wants his people strong...and that includes you.Ending on a song note, you need to see a victory. Trust me, stick with Jesus and it's coming. Despite your darkness, God sees you. You are listening to this for a reason. As Vaquero would tell you, "You Matter'. This is "See a Victory" by Elevation Worship. Give them some love and add it to your, "I need Encouragement and Wisdom" play list. Now go, tune in more, lift those weights that are weighing you down to God. Ask for guidance and direction on what is your best path to Victory...
RadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!) The Siskel and Ebert of American politics, David Waldman and Greg Dworkin, give this Wednesday two thumbs down. This week is the week Donald Trump finally became Darth. All across DC, Storm Troopers are finely arrayed, AT-ATs are at the ready, and Tie Fighters fill the sky. Glorious. It began Monday with the first strains of John Williams score rising as cameras followed Trump and his all-white entourage marching across Lafayette Park, met by Empress Ivanka, there to present Donald with his second favorite book after Art of the Deal, his beloved Bible… Well, “a” Bible… aka, “The Holy Prop”. Hey! No spoilers for Gop senators, as none of them have seen it yet. After this blockbuster wraps, the White House will begin production of their ”The Omen” reboot. The protests have been peaceful, until the cops show up… or, the bureau of federal prisons special operations response team, the 91st Military Police Battalion… or whoever these guys are. None of them will miss their chance to beat a black guy or a journalist… or, maybe shoot them, and not with paintballs either. But don’t worry, when the 82nd Airborne runs out of bullets for any American civilian protesters, they will have their bayonets. Police now lay out pallets of paint cans and bricks, go back to their hunting blinds, and wait. Arlington police decide none of this is for them, and go back to Virginia to be peace officers. DC says they didn’t want them here anyhow. The DEA will hunt down the protesters of the killers of George Floyd, with special emphasis on whomever Donald Trump points at today. Listen, if you didn’t want violence and brutality in your neighborhood, you should have tipped your police better. You can’t reform the police if you first lose your job. Donald was just looking under his desk for something, not hiding under it! While he was down there, BLM support surged, as most Americans can see racism Isn’t being taken seriously enough. Steve King’s racism was taken seriously enough to get him ousted off the Republican ticket. Ferguson, Missouri elected their first black mayor, who is also their first woman mayor. While hatred for Donald Trump grows, so does the love for Joe Biden. Joe Biden’s former boss and good buddy, the President of the United States Barack Obama will be sending the love tonight.

Rapp Report Daily 467 How Do You Know the Bible is True and Not Other Books? How do you know that the Bible is true in other sacred texts from other religions or not books like the Quran with a book of Mormon or Bhagavad-Gita or others? How do we trust the Bible? Well, the way we can tell is that when you look at these other books, take for example the book of Mormon or the Quran, you have usually one author and within the one author, you see inconsistencies. You see things that are errors. The Quran, for example, the author of the Chron did not know Christian theology and therefore he would argue that the Christian view of the Trinity is mother, Father, and Son, and that would not be the case of what the Trinity is. They also would define it as three gods. Well the fact that that contains an error in definition, we know it is false. You have things in the book of Mormon giving details that do not work with any of the history that we know from the land in the Americas. You cannot substantiate any of the claims there. With the Bible, you can substantiate the claims in archeology and history. But you also see with 40 different writers over 1500 years, no inconsistencies in what they are teaching. Now, people will try making inconsistency saying, well, here you have, Jesus, heals one leper and somewhere else two lepers, things like that. What you end up seeing there is that one author is referring to one of the two people. That is not an inconsistency. Though the Bible is true because it is the one written by God. That's ultimately the answer.

Rapp Report Daily 0430 Jesus Never Rose from the Dead Many make the claim that Jesus Christ never rose from the dead. This is an essential argument because if Jesus never rose from the dead then we would be dead in our sins. This is an argument that Paul makes and you end up seeing in 1 Corinthians 15 that if Christ did not rose from dead then Christians are the most pitied. So this is. A key element of Christianity, in fact, all of Christianity hinges on this. So what many will say is outside of the Bible Well, the Bible is a historical document so we should not reject that as I mentioned in yesterday’s podcast. However, the strongest evidence outside the Bible for the resurrection of Christ. It doesn’t come from the Bible though. That’s really really really strong evidence because people want to discredit that because they claim that that’s trying to prove the very thing that it’s arguing for. You could look at the historians at a time Josephus Philo others, but I would argue that if you really want to see some evidence outside of scripture for the resurrection look to the one group of people that didn’t want to admit that Jesus rose from the dead and that’s the Jewish people we end up seeing in the Talmud which was being written at that time of Christ. It was responding to that it was taking for granted that Jesus did rise from the dead so that would be some of the best evidence outside of scripture because that’s written by God. So that is the best but evidence comes from the enemies of God the Jews of the time.

In our first episode, Pastor John Hallowell and I sit down for a deep dive into how we ought to approach reading the Bible and the very real problems that arise when we approach the Bible too quickly or with bad reading habits and reflexes. Pastor John offers a clear, thorough approach anyone can use to help them engage the text in deeper and more accurate ways, a method of Bible reading that can be done in as little as 15 minutes or as much as several hours. We believe that daily Bible reading is of such value and importance in the life of a Christian that we ought to be willing to invest the care and effort needed in order to do it well. Show Notes: Here's a little outline you can return to to recall the IOWA method Pastor John lays out (which begins about minute 25:30): First Pass: What did this mean when it was written? Identify: Passages not verses, Genre, Textual Context (within the book), Historical Context Observe: The Author’s Intent and Language (voice, mind, heart, spirit) Write: A Creative Record (free form, mind map, diagram sentences, notations) Analyze: What did it mean? Summarize the passage Second Pass: What does this mean for us now? Identify: Differences between then & now. Your Context (both spiritual [New Covenant] and historical) Observe: What is going on inside of you/If the Holy Spirit is showing you something. Is there something healthy here the Spirit wants you to emulate, a warning he wants you to heed? Write: A formal expression of what the Spirit has done in you in relation to this passage: a journal entry, a song, a sermon, a prayer, a letter Analyze: The Big Picture: What does it all mean? And what has the Spirit planted in you now that you have encountered this Word?

Our inaugural episode!
We all have regrets. Think about the first five months of 2018. How many regrets have you already accumulated? Most regret is tied to three words: LACK OF FAITH. It's true, isn't it? Look at the regrets that you thought about just a moment ago. So if regrets are tied to faith, then how do we live a life of faith? What does it take to live a faith filled life like you see in the Bible? Well, it's probably not as difficult and out of reach as you think. Join us for this single message from Crossroads!
When King Josiah heard for the first time what God’s word had to say, he was seized with fear. Why would such a strong reaction come from something as beautiful as the Bible? Well, for 57 years no leaders in Israel had been aligned with the scriptures, and Josiah had just heard the consequences for that kind of negligence. What you don’t know can not only hurt you, it could possibly kill you. This message continues the study in Josiah’s life and reveals both the curses for disobeying God’s Law and the blessings for obeying it. We all get to choose which side of the equation we get to experience. As for me and my house, we are going after the blessing.
Do you know what I love about Bible? Well, truth be told, there are a lot of things that I love about the Bible. Far too many to tell in this PODCAST. But certainly residing at or near the top of my rather lengthy list is this: The window the biblical writers open to the growth and maturity of its principle players. Case in point: The Apostle Paul. Paul did not emerge from his road to Damascus encounter with Jesus a wholly-mature believer. Nor did Paul burst on the scene armed with a fully-formed theology that would become the capstone of his prolific writings. Paul had to grow in his faith as a committed Christ-follower just like the rest of us. I love that! Paul moved from a measurably primitive understanding of Jesus to a remarkably profound comprehension of who Jesus was and is and all that Jesus did and accomplished. This growth, this development, this maturity takes place right before our wondering eyes ever to behold in all of its spiritual splendor. In short, Paul was a person in process, just like us! A process well-documented in the New Testament that as we are about to learn slowly-but-surely took place over many, many years. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play. God bless you richly as you listen.
