Are the Gospels historically reliable? In this episode, I sit down with renowned New Testament scholar Craig Keener to discuss his book Christobiography: Memory, History, and the Reliability of the Gospels. We explore how the Gospels fit within the genre of ancient biography (bios), what that means for their historical accuracy, and how eyewitness testimony shaped the accounts of Jesus' life. Keener also addresses common objections about memory, oral tradition, and historical reliability, offering insights that challenge both skeptics and believers. Craig S. Keener (Ph.D., Duke University) is F. M. and Ada Thompson Professor of Biblical Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary. He is author of 37 books, 5 of which have won awards in Christianity Today. More than a million copies of his books are in circulation; the most popular is The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament, which provides cultural background on each passage of the New Testament. Craig is also the New Testament editor for the NIV Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, which won the International Book Award for Christianity and Bible of the year in the Christian Book Awards. Craig is editor of the Bulletin for Biblical Research and is past president of the Evangelical Theological Society. Craig's wife, Dr. Médine Moussounga Keener, was a refugee in her home country of Congo; their story appears in Impossible Love: The True Story of an African Civil War, Miracles, and Hope against All Odds (Chosen, 2016). https://www.ryleyheppner.com https://www.instagram.com/ryleyheppner/ For all collaboration requests (speaking, advertising, etc.) go to: https://www.ryleyheppner.com/collaboration
When we think of the Apostle Paul, we often picture a stern, unyielding figure - the finger-wagging scold, laying down the law for the early Christian communities. But my guest today, Nijay Gupta, is here to shatter that perception and reveal the beating heart at the center of Paul's theology. In Nijay's new book, "The Affections of Christ Jesus," he makes a captivating case that what truly animates Paul's writings is an overwhelming, spilling-over affection - a profound, personal love that should reorient our entire understanding of the gospel message. As we dive into this conversation, Nijay makes the case that the dominant theological frameworks we've used to interpret Paul's work - the camps of justification by faith, the apocalyptic Paul, salvation history are missing something. He argues that what's been missing is a central focus on love, on the emotional, relational dimension that lies at the core of Paul's vision. And Nijay doesn't stop there. He also brings in the insights of Augustine, the great theologian of love, exploring how our deepest loves - not just our intellectual beliefs - are what truly shape the trajectory of our lives. So join me as we explore the affections that lie at the center of Paul's writings - the love that should be the starting point, not the afterthought, of our theology.Nijay Gupta (DPhil, University of Durham) has written several academic books including Paul and the Language of Faith, and Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church. He has co-edited The State of New Testament Studies, and The State of Pauline Studies. Nijay co-chairs the Pauline Theology seminar of the Institute for Biblical Research and serves as a senior translator for the New Living Translation.Nijay's Book:The Affections of Christ JesusNijay's Recommendation:Becoming the Pastor's WifeThe Wild RobotShrinkingSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

AN IMPORTANT LESSON SHOWING THE VERACITY OF GOD'S WORD Abram arrives at Shechem (lesson 26) in 2091 B.C. Really? Who says? Time goes on and then we read in Exod. 12:40 that the sons of Israel (Jacob) lived in Egypt 430 years till they left with Moses. Where does that number come from? Why doesn't anyone explain it? Also it is taught to us that the early date of the Exodus was 1446 B.C. and no one ever justifies this date. It is just stated. Why won't anyone help us understand that this date of 1446 B.C. is supported by REAL archaeology and not someone's opinion or speculation. Well, I will. This lesson is to show that the early date of the Exodus, 1446 B.C. is very likely considering the archaeology supporting it and the study of the events in their historical context. I mentioned I will provide a number of links to resources to help you study further. These links and resources are shown below.

We will continue with the verse Gen. 2:3. The Hebrew - not the English - suggests that God stopped creating works that were still yet to be done! Huh? Works yet to be done? Works created but had not even started or were completed? Works for the future? This is too awesome since this implies that we, made in His image, are to go and work just like Him. Hmmm, does the Bible teach that? It suggests right from the "get go" we were created for a purpose. But, did God specify it in His Word and not imply or suggest? It seems clear also that this implies Jesus as well. He said that He is doing the works given to Him by the Father. He tells those listening to Him then in John 5 that He will even do greater works than what they just saw (He had just healed a man lame for 39 years). On top of that Jesus tells us on the night before He died in John 14 that if we are His true talmideem - His true disciples - that the works the Father gave Him Jesus gives to us and we also will even do "greater works." It is as if Gen. 2:3 is God's first prediction of the good news coming in the future. Now the verse Eph. 2:8-10 makes sense. Yes! We are saved by grace but at the same time we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus (that means we the ones called by His name, we are the ones who state that Jesus is our Lord, our Savior, God, we are His true disciples) for GOOD WORKS created BEFORE HAND!! This is an amazing connection of Eph. 2:8-10 to the Torah. But, why should it surprise us. When Paul wrote the letter to Ephesus the only Bible they had was the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament. This lesson will also address the Documentary Hypothesis - a theory that states that Moses never wrote the Torah. We will study this anti-Bible theory and show that it is false. It comes against Jesus' own words when Jesus states clearly many times that the Torah is of Moses or the Torah are the "books of Moses." Below is a link to a deep scholarly article from the Associates for Biblical Research that shows the Documentary Hypothesis is wrong and should be buried forever. Here's the link ... https://www.biblearchaeology.org/research/topics/biblical-criticism-and-the-documentary-hypothesis/2328-the-documentary-hypothesis On top of that, the Sabbath (שַׁבָּת Shabbat in Hebrew) testifies of Messiah Yeshua, Jesus the Christ.

They are a unique phenomenon on the airwaves – a Christian and a Jew in an ongoing dialogue – celebrating the many commonalities but never shying away from the differences. They offer their listeners insights into each other's faiths that don't come up much elsewhere, that can only come through sincere conversation. The weekly discussion is more than a program about a topic; it's a demonstration of how God can bring two people together from 9,000 miles away to bridge the differences, learn from each other, and strengthen their own faiths.

Isaiah 7:14 is quoted by Matthew (1:23) in application to Mary's pregnancy: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son.” But is Isaiah's reference to a young woman (עַלְמָה) or a virgin (παρθένος)? The former is the Hebrew of Isaiah, and the latter is the Greek of the Septuagint and Matthew's citation. Can Genesis 24 shed some light on this question? Dr. Emanuel Tov is the J. L. Magnes Professor of Bible Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Among his roles, he was one of the editors of the Hebrew University Bible Project and was Editor-in-Chief of the Dead Sea Scrolls Publication Project (1990-2009). His many publications include Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible: Revised and Expanded Fourth Edition and The Text-Critical Use of the Septuagint in Biblical Research.

Reference this lesson and find out more here: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/where-is-mount-sinai/Join us in Israel: https://evidence4faith.org/israel/The Hebrews are now free from Pharaoh's army and headed to Mount Sinai, also called Mount Horeb throughout the Bible. If you search online or in a variety of Bible atlases, you will find a dozen mountains identified as Mount Sinai. Which one is correct? One of the challenges with identifying locations from the past is that names can change, and established traditions can obfuscate actual evidence. Similar to how we identified the most likely candidate for the Red Sea crossing in the previous episode, we will go through the clues from the Bible and compare them to what we find in the field to help identify the most likely place for the Biblical Mount Sinai.Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

The very first words of the Hebrew Bible, usually translated as “In the beginning God created…” can also be translated, “In the beginning when God created . . . God said . . . .” What is the basis for this rendition? Dr. Emanuel Tov, the J. L. Magnes Professor of Bible Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, recounts his learning of the biblical languages and illustrates the importance of that learning for interpretation. Among his earlier roles, he was one of the editors of the Hebrew University Bible Project and was Editor-in-Chief of the Dead Sea Scrolls Publication Project (1990-2009). His many publications include Textual Criticism of the Hebrew Bible: Revised and Expanded Fourth Edition and The Text-Critical Use of the Septuagint in Biblical Research.

Episode 177 The Divine Name in the DSS (Part 2) with Emanuel Tov For three months Emanuel Tov and his wife, Lika, have been resident at the Lanier Theological Library in Houston (2023-24). I cannot express what an honor it is to have them present in our library. Every day Tov sits reading and studying in the alcove featuring the library of Florentino Garcia Martinez. Professor Tov joined David Capes on The Stone Chapel Podcasts to talk about how scribes in the desert community of Qumran wrote the divine name in the scrolls. Who Is Emanuel Tov? Emanuel Tov is the emeritus J. L. Magnes Professor of Biblical Studies at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. Born in Holland during the Nazi occupation, he emigrated to Israel in 1961. He earned his PhD at Hebrew University under the supervision of Shemaryahu Talmon and Frank Moore Cross. Tov is perhaps best known for his work on the Dead Sea Scrolls. For almost 20 years he was editor-in-chief of the International Dead Sea Scrolls Project. Under Tov's guidance, the project published 33 volumes of DJD, Discoveries in the Judean Desert (Oxford). He has also written on the textual criticism of the Old Testament (Hebrew and Greek, see below). His wife, Lika, is a wonderful artist who creates art often imaging the Dead Sea Scrolls. You can see her artwork at www.likatov.info. Emanuel and his wife have three children and four grandchildren. The Divine Name in the Dead Sea Scrolls One feature of the Dead Sea Scrolls that fascinates scholars involves scribal habits. That is, the way scribes copied and wrote the biblical and non-biblical scrolls at Qumran. The scribes who wrote the scrolls had several unique habits. One had to do with the ways they expressed the unspeakable, ineffable name of God. Only a small percentage of the scrolls are written in Greek. Most are written in Hebrew. In this podcast Tov and Capes discuss how scribes wrote the divine names, especially YHWH, in the Greek scrolls.

Guest Bio: Lynn H. Cohick (PhD, University of Pennsylvania) is distinguished professor of New Testament and director of the Houston Theological Seminary at Houston Christian University. Prior to coming to HCU, she served as provost/dean of academic affairs at Northern Seminary, and provost of Denver Seminary. She was Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College and taught at Nairobi Evangelical Graduate School of Theology in Nairobi, Kenya. She serves as president of the Institute for Biblical Research.

Show Summary: Do you ever feel like God doesn't have a purpose for you? Maybe while reading your Bible, you notice the stand-out men doing all of the amazing things in the New Testament, or the fact that women don't seem to be major participants in the events. However, Dr. Lynn Cohick noticed the remarkable way Jesus treated women and how God has a purpose for each and every one of us. She set out to teach more people about the truth of women in the New Testament. Join hosts, Elisa Morgan and Eryn Adkins, as they learn more from Dr. Lynn on this episode of God Hears Her. Notes and Quotes: “. . .And that story [Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus], for me, has just resonated down through the decades. Really, of someone who was in the same moment as Jesus. She's the one who recognizes His passion to come. And, she, in the face of ridicule by her friends, does what needs to be done in the name of love.” —Dr. Lynn Cohick “. . .With these women, it just broke my heart that they wanted nothing to do with Jesus because they wanted nothing to do with the Church. . .I wished they would know Jesus as I know Jesus, and I just lamented that reality. . .” —Dr. Lynn Cohick I am excited to see. . .and I dream of seeing it more and more. . .of women confidently stepping into what God has called them to do. . .and it's not like they all need to teach, or they all need to evangelize. . .whatever good work that God has for them” —Dr. Lynn Cohick “In the global church, I think it's going to be increasingly important that Christians work together for the sake of the world, as the world continues to fracture. . .” —Dr. Lynn Cohick “. . .with purpose, purpose might apply for some people as an end goal. But I think for believers we don't always know what that end goal is in a concrete sense. Paul tells the Romans, and us, that we are predestined to be conformed to the image of the Son. . .that's our ultimate goal.” —Dr. Lynn Cohick Verses: Mark 14:1-9 John 4:1-26 Acts 16:11-15; 16:39-40 1 Corinthians 4:3-5 Romans 8:29 2 Corinthians 3:18 Links: God Hears Her website: https://www.godhearsher.org/ God Hears Her newsletter sign-up: https://www.godhearsher.org/sign-upsfmc Subscribe on iTunes! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/god-hears-her-podcast/id1511046507?utm_source=applemusic&utm_medium=godhearsher&utm_campaign=podcast Discover the Word series “Women in the Work of Jesus”: https://discovertheword.org/series/roles-of-women-in-the-work-of-jesus/ Elisa's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elisamorganauthor/ Eryn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eryneddy/ MB01NAKWT6WP0HQ
In 1 Samuel 13:14 the Bible says that David was a man after God's own heart. But what does the phrase, "a man after His heart" mean? Normally people assume it means that David had a heart that was the same as God's heart. However, if that is true, how could David have commited adultery and murder? In this video we explore an alternative (and more likely) meaning of what it means that David was a man after God's own heart.

THE CONCLUSION OF OUR SERIES AT LAST. We apologize for the length, but we didn't want to divide this concluding episode in two. Satell, Greg. “Why the Experts Always Seem to Get it Wrong,” Forbes, 2014. Retrieved from https://www.forbes.com/sites/gregsatell/2014/02/19/why-experts-always-seem-to-get-it-wrong/?sh=163664d73a36 On March 24th, 2022, the Associates for Biblical Research announced the discovery of an ancient curse tablet (defixio) on Mount Ebal at the site of "Joshua's altar." In this series, as we promised in episode #52, we revisit this discovery following the publication of the scholarly paper on May 12th of this year. We hope to lay out the context and reasons this discovery and its controversial interpretation is so important. To do so, we must become acquainted with modern theology and biblical criticism as practiced in the contemporary West, the ongoing scholarly debate over the defixio, and finally to discuss C. S. Lewis's article, "Modern Theology and Biblical Criticism." I would suggest that our listeners review our original episode, The Christian Atheist #52: “The Curse Tablet: Archaeology and Faith.” Jenny and I discuss the curse tablet on No Compromise #47 & #48.

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.

Before There Was a Bible: Authorities in Early Christianity (T&T Clark, 2023) is a natural outgrowth from McDonald's significant and ongoing work in the field of canon studies, which traces the development of the Christian Old and New Testaments as we know them today. Given that McDonald holds, as is now common in canon scholarship, that the biblical canon does not begin its formation until the fourth century CE, Before There Was a Bible examines the sources of authority that existed in the early, pre-canonical Christian centuries. Among these are the revered words of Jesus, early preferences for the Hebrew Scriptures that inspired Jesus's ministry, and the different weights and values placed at times on the texts that would become accepted as part of the New Testament, the apostolic leadership of the churches, and the successors of the apostles, such as the bishops who maintained core traditions, creeds, hymnody, lectionaries, and other checks and balances on the spiritual sources for their churches. McDonald joined the New Books Network to discuss all these topics and more from his career in New Testament scholarship. Lee Martin McDonald (Ph.D., University of Edinburgh, 1976) is President Emeritus at Acadia Divinity College in Nova Scotia, where he taught New Testament Studies for many years, and was also president of the Institute for Biblical Research from 2006 to 2012. He has written or edited 35 books over a career that spans back to the 1980s, and his most recent work is Before There Was a Bible: Authorities in Early Christianity (Bloomsbury/T&T Clark, 2023). Rob Heaton (Ph.D., University of Denver, 2019) hosts Biblical Studies conversations for New Books in Religion and teaches New Testament, Christian origins, and early Christianity at Anderson University in Indiana. He recently authored The Shepherd of Hermas as Scriptura Non Grata: From Popularity in Early Christianity to Exclusion from the New Testament Canon (Lexington Books, 2023).

You might have heard that being made in the image of God refers to human rationality, relationality, moral agency, or some combination of these qualities. Dr. Carmen Imes disagrees. She and Dru discuss what they think the author of Genesis was actually referring to with the phrase "image of God," in light of Carmen's latest book Being God's Image: Why Creation Still Matters (forthcoming in June, 2023). Along the way, they discuss artificial intelligence, the resurrection and renewal of creation, and why Eve should have been more assertive. Carmen (PhD in Biblical Theology, Wheaton College) is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Biola University. She is also the author of Bearing God's Name: Why Sinai Still Matters. Carmen is an active member of the Evangelical Theological Society, the Institute for Biblical Research, the Society of Biblical Literature, and the Canadian Society of Biblical Studies.

The Amarna Letters are some of the most fascinating extra-biblical texts from the time of the Bible. Specifically, they paint a picture of the trouble the kings of Canaan were in as the Israelites began to take over the land.I believe that you will find this fascinating and helpful as we dive into the world of Joshua and the conquering Israelites taking the promised land.I am in debt to the research by so many archaeologists for the source material for this episode, but I want to especially thank the researchers at The Associates for Biblical Research. I highly recommend you check out the resources on their website regarding the conquest period and the Amarna Letters.Citations from this video:The Exodus Controversy: https://biblearchaeology.org/research/chronological-categories/exodus-era/2288-the-exodus-controversyNew Discoveries at Rameses: https://biblearchaeology.org/research/chronological-categories/exodus-era/3824-new-discoveries-at-ramesesAmenhoteop II and the Historicity of the Exodus Pharaoh. https://biblearchaeology.org/research/chronological-categories/exodus-era/3147-amenhotep-ii-and-the-historicity-of-the-exodus-pharaohAmenhotep II and the Historicity of the Exodus Pharaoh: https://biblearchaeology.org/research/chronological-categories/exodus-era/3147-amenhotep-ii-and-the-historicity-of-the-exodus-pharaohThe Amarna Letters, Edited and Translated by William L.
