Podcast appearances and mentions of Carol A Newsom

In the aftermath of Jesus' death and resurrection, Jesus offers comfort and presence to his disciples. He continues to remind them he has not come to establish a nation state, rather that the disciples would be the ones to carry forward Jesus' mission. Requirements for this include more waiting, receiving the power of the Holy Spirit. Devotion to prayer may be what will prepare them for what's next. But that isn't here yet. They must prepare themselves to be led by the Holy Spirit. Sermon begins at minute marker 4:58Acts 1.1-14ResourcesBibleWorm podcast Episode 535 Waiting for the Spirit She Reads Truth podcast Episode 96 Acts Week 1 with Christine Caine Working Preacher Narrative Lectionary podcast 579: You Shall Be My Witnesses Believers Church Bible Commentary: Acts, by Chalmer E.

Jesus lives an increasingly life of truth-telling to civic and religious authorities. All the while he enfolds the marginalized and oppressed into a just and merciful embrace of care and love, calling disciples to do the same. Up to his impending death disciples cannot grasp what this will cost him. A woman enacting honor and love provides Jesus' followers, then and now, with an example of unbridled recognition of who Jesus is. What is imprinted on our being? How can we break alabaster jars to display open and prepared hearts?Sermon begins at minute marker 5:09Mark 12.13-17, 14.3-9ResourcesBibleWorm podcasts: 528 The Parable of the Tenants, and 531 The Triumphal Entry and the Anointing at Bethany  Image by vicky_photographies from PixabayBelievers Church Bible Commentary: Mark, by Timothy J Gaddert, editors Elmer A Martens and Willard M Swartley; Herald Press, Scottdale PA 2001 Women's Bible Commentary, Third Edition: Revised and Updated, editors by Carol A.

Place-based watershed discipleship and the spiritual practice of reverence deepen our experience of kinship with all creation. Pastor Megan shares stories of learning to know mountains, learning to know neighbors and neighborhood, and learning to know our foremothers in the faith. To get more specific: she learns to love the contours of the Olympic Mountain range, the many neighbors who walk along 125th in Lake City, and the tent-making mother of teachers in Acts, Priscilla. In each of these cases, learning to know more fully nurtures loving more deeply, which may lead us to both honor and labor to protect all of our kin.Sermon begins at minute marker 6:03 Acts 18:24-27 ResourcesKnow Your Mothers project, by Cara Quinn: https://knowyourmothers.com/ “Know Your Mothers project returns after hiatus,” published in The Christian Century, May 4, 2022, from Emily McFarlan Miller, Religion News Service.“Reverence vs. Faith”, Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery Podcast, with Sarah Augustine and Sheri Hostetler, Season 1, Episode 5, August 2021. “We won't protect places we don't love.

The scene in Jerusalem during this time of Passover is fraught, and occupying imperial power is tenuous. Crowds travel all across the Judean landscape to convene in Jerusalem for an annual pilgrimage in which they retell a story of their ancestors finding liberation from oppressors. The contemporary oppressive overlords tremble at the prospect that the power of the people may rise up against them. It's in this context that Jesus is tried by Pilate. The wheels of imperial self-interested violence cycles churn away - keeping everyone afraid of everything all the time. According to John's gospel, Jesus has come as a True Word that stands in opposition to the siren voice of the bandit leading his violent and scattered revolt. Nothing could be more threatening to the occupying imperial powers than an embodied TRUE word of belonging and nonviolent resistance.Sermon begins at minute 3:14John 18:28-40Pilate Judgment, detail from a 15th century icon (public domain)Hymn: Ah, Holy Jesus, VT 330 Words and Music - ©PD Public Domain Music: Johann Crüger; Text: Johann HeermannBibleworm podcast: Episode 334 – What Is Truth, Amy Robertson and Robert Williamson, Jr.Willard M Swartley, JOHN: Believers Church Bible Commentary, Herald Press (2013).Women's Bible Commentary, eds.

To be frank: John is a bit extra. John's gospel will take anything that Jesus says or does in Matthew, Mark, or Luke, and turn the dial all the way up to “whaaaat?!” Following the feeding of way-more-than-5000 with 5 barley loaves and 2 dried fish, Jesus begins his discourse with “I AM the bread of life.” Which sounds positively quaint by the time he gets to the rather graphic proclamation that only those who munch on his flesh have life in them; that those who munch on his flesh will have eternal life. What can it possibly have meant then or now to munch on Jesus' flesh?

Okay, they don't precisely “walk into a bar”, but they do meet at their local “watering hole”... the well… literally a hole with water in it. Ha! Do I have your attention yet?! Two people like them are NOT supposed to interact at all, but these two beloved humans conspire to cross religio-socio-cultural boundaries to encounter one another: human to human. Neither do they shy away from the most pressing theological dispute that fuels the sometimes violent antagonism between their respective peoples. The Samaritan woman (anonymous) dives right into the thorns with the Jewish man (Jesus), and by the end of it all she goes to her people with 1) an invitation: “Come and see…”, and 2) an open question “Could this man be…?” Stick around through all the noticings in this gorgeous story, and be treated to a “biblical experiment in decolonization,” thanks to the compassionate heart and imaginative mind of one baptized with the waters of Shoal Lake 40 in Treaty 1 territory, Canada.Sermon begins at minute 7:41John 4:1-42Image: JESUS MAFA.

Siang-Yang Tan, professor of psychology, responds to Carol A. Newsom’s lecture by considering the ideas of self through the lenses of psychotherapy and Eastern contemplative traditions.

When Candler was founded a century ago, the world still seemed vast. New technologies seemed to offer a future of unlimited progress. Now we understand how the unintended consequences of our actions threaten the very systems that support life on this planet. Reflecting on the threats to the environment in biblical and theological terms offers insights into who we are, what our covenantal responsibilities are, and how we can ground hope even as we face an uncertain future.

Although classical Israelite religion has very little to say about demons and other evil forces, but popular religion took it for granted that evil demons existed, haunting desert ruins and sometimes preying on people. In the late Persian and Hellenistic periods (4th—2nd centuries BCE) speculation about these types of figures proliferates. Incantations against demons, protective amulets, and practices of exorcism are all attested. Mythic accounts of the origin of evil spirits are developed, and the names and occasionally even the appearance of the demons are described. This talk will examine the origins and functions of speculation on demonic forces in early Judaism, a worldview with profound and lasting cultural effects. Although rabbinic Judaism largely rejected it, this worldview strongly shaped Christian religious beliefs. And while modernist Christians do not take the mythology of evil spirits literally, variations on these beliefs remain common among conservative evangelical and Pentecostal Christians throughout the world. Carol A. Newsom is Charles Howard Candler Professor of Old Testament at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology. She has written seven books and scores of articles, book chapters, translations, encyclopedia articles, and reviews. She has received several prestigious research fellowships, including grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Henry Luce Foundation, and has won several awards for excellence in teaching and mentoring. She recently served as president of the Society of Biblical Literature and is a senior fellow at Emory University's Center for the Study of Law and Religion.
