The sins of the fathers! It's a phrase you've heard a thousand times, but did you know it comes straight from the Bible? This week it's Bible versus Bible, and the topic is generational punishment: God visiting the iniquity of the parents upon the children to the third and fourth generation. It's in the Ten Commandments. And the other Ten Commandments. So what did those poor great-grandkids do to deserve it? And how do you square that with a God who's "slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love"? Then, is it canon? This week's contender has more names than a witness protection program: Sirach, Ben Sira, Ecclesiasticus. It came closer than almost any book to making the Jewish canon, written in Hebrew around 180 BCE and translated into Greek by the author's own grandson. So why'd it get left out? The author made one fatal mistake: he was honest about who he was and when he wrote it. The guys who lied about being ancient prophets? They made the cut. ---- Follow us on the various social media places: https://www.instagram.com/dataoverdogmapod/ https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod https://www.tiktok.com/@data.over.dogma.pod Have you ordered Dan McClellan's New York Times bestselling book The Bible Says So yet???

In this episode of Who's Who in the Bible, Fr. Shane Varghese, C.Ss.R., presents an insightful deep dive into the Book of Sirach (also known as Ecclesiasticus). Fr. Shane guides viewers through the technical history of the text—from its original Hebrew roots to its rediscovery in Cairo—while exploring its profound wisdom literature themes. Key points include the author's emphasis on the fear of God, the necessity of humility, and the importance of internal moral vigilance over external pressures like Hellenism. The session highlights Sirach's beautiful personification of Wisdom, which prefigures the coming of Christ. We invite you to watch this enlightening episode to deepen your spiritual growth and understanding of this essential scriptural work as a family.
