Fearless Connections: Embracing the Courage of True Friendship - Guest Dr. Mark Glanville John 15:12-17 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.  You are my friends if you do what I command you.  I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.  You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name.  I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.

In episode 40 of TheoDisc, Kenny chats with Dr Tamara Knudson about oaths and vows in the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible), particularly in the stories of key women figures like Ruth, Hannah and Abigail. Tamara helps us understand the difference between an oath and a vow and how they hold profound and transformative potential as we recognise them in the Scriptural story. Show Notes Read Tamara's thesis on oaths and vows in the Hebrew Bible, ‘She is More to You than Seven Sons': https://research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/10023/27441/Thesis-Tamara-Knudson-complete-version.pdf  Listen to Tamara teaching on Jepthah's vow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iqLoz-1RVo  Next Episode In our next episode, Kenny will be talking about Jared Michelson and the connection between what is often considered ‘high' or ‘abstract' theological doctrines and on the ground Christian Ministry.

The historical narratives of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible have much in common with Icelandic saga literature: both are invested in origins and genealogy, place-names, family history, sibling rivalry, conflict and its resolution. Yet the comparison between these two literatures is rarely made, and biblical translations in Old Norse-Icelandic have been neglected as a focus of literary study.  The Old Testament in Medieval Icelandic Texts: Translation, Exegesis and Storytelling (Boydell & Brewer, 2024) by Dr. Siân E. Grønlie aims to redress this neglect. It shows how the likeness between biblical narrative and saga narrative has shaped the reception of the Old Testament in medieval Iceland, even through multiple layers of translation and exegesis. It draws on a wide variety of texts, including homilies, saints' lives, world histories, encyclopaedic works, and the biblical translations collectively known as Stjórn, to explore how medieval Icelanders engaged with Old Testament narrative in the light of their own vernacular tradition of storytelling. And above all, it argues that the medieval Icelanders understood and recognised in these well-known biblical stories a narrative art that was strikingly akin to their own. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Sure, sometimes the line between our seeking God's help and God's response is clear and obvious, and people hear a voice answering them in direct answer to their clear request for God's assistance.  But a lot more often in the Bible (and in our lives), God shows up unexpectedly and surprises people with encounters, blessings, directions, and callings that people weren't looking for.  That's what we're calling "serendipitious faith" in this new series here on Crazy Faith Talk.  In this opening conversation, join pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve as they share stories from the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible that invite us to get to know the God who, as the hymn puts it, "comes to us as one unknown."

Do Jews believe in hell? What does Judaism teach about the existence of hell? Is hell taught in the Old Testament / Hebrew Bible?

In the cult classic, Monty Python and The Holy Grail, King Arthur has an exchange with a peasant (Dennis) where he learns that those under his rule have a very distorted view of how one actually becomes a king.  It's not not from strange women lying in ponds distributing swords. In this captivating episode, Josh sits down with Dr. Matthew Bates to discuss his upcoming book, "Why the Gospel?" which seeks to transform our understanding of the gospel by emphasizing Jesus' role as King. They delve into the implications of recognizing Jesus as an authoritative ruler, rather than merely believing in him. Dr. Bates shares insights on how the King Jesus gospel can attract those disillusioned with the church and help combat hypocrisy. They also explore the challenges of grasping the concept of kingship in today's Western culture and the importance of responding to the gospel with loyalty and allegiance. Join us for this thought-provoking conversation as we uncover the true essence of the gospel and its impact on the church and believers today.Guest Bio:Matthew W. Bates (Ph.D., Notre Dame) is Professor of Theology at Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois. Bates is a Protestant who enjoys the challenge of teaching in a Catholic context.

This episode, I look into one of the most unbelievable stories of the Old Testament Hebrew Bible containing hidden messages about our past and future. Using a technique that involves skip code, any word or phrase can be put into a computer program that searches the Bible for any matches. The accuracy of the Bible Codes are down right hair raising. How can a book written over 3,500 years ago, accurately  give us the details of terrorist attacks in the 20th century or the exact date of a high level assasination? If the Bible Codes are real, then it only begs the obvious, who put them in the Bibe and why?

This week, Kendall and Kate talk with Dr. Ellen Davis, a professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School. Dr. Davis uses this opportunity to share with us the profound importance of allowing children to wrestle with the hard stories of Scripture in slow, thoughtful, contemplative ways. When we try to protect children from stories of brokenness, she shares, a reality they *know* exists in the world, we cut them off from the story of redemption too. We actually obscure the very gift that our faith offers them. Adam breaks down the song Endangered Love, more commonly known as Barbara Manattee. Want to watch along?

In this book review we discuss "DMT and The Soul of Prophecy", Rick Strassman's follow up to "DMT the Spirit Molecule", in which he tackles the major unresolved issues left behind after finishing the DMT project 20+ years ago. In this text, he attempts to find a model that fit the data from the original volunteers' reports of the psychedelic-induced state. This ultimately led him to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) where the notion of a “prophetic state of consciousness” began taking shape. DISCLAIMERS: Our intention behind each of these episodes is mainly to unpack some of the general ideas within the text that pertain to The Archive's philosophy, rather than to solely "review" or critique the text. We also do not advocate the use of drugs in any way.

Episode: After being forgotten for over 3000 years, the ancient city of Ugarit was rediscovered by archaeologists in 1929. Perhaps the greatest find from the site was the stash of over 2500 texts written in the ancient language of Ugaritic, texts which illuminated the history of the ancient world and the life of the local inhabitants.  Join hosts Mary Buck and Chris McKinny as they discuss the ancient site of Ugarit which ruled over the Northern Levant from 1800 BCE to 1200 BCE. Hosts: Mary Buck (Shepherds Theological Seminary) and Chris McKinny (Gesher Media)  Summary: In this episode, Chris and Mary discuss the following: - The accidental discovery of Ugarit (Ras Shamra) and the expedition - An overview of the city of Ugarit, the finds, and its significance in the 2nd millennium BC - Potential connections between Ugarit and the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. Additional Resources: 2019 - Buck, Mary - Amorite Dynasty of Ugarit; 2019 - Buck, Mary - The Canaanites; Their History and Culture from Texts and Artifacts.

Heard the one about when the sons of God took human wives and had babies, immortal babies!? But God put a stop to that little episode (Gen 6:1-4). There are several seemingly weird vignettes like this in the Torah. In this episode, Neil and Helen have a look at a few of these, to see if they can make sense of them and, as always, add these snapshots to the bigger picture of Scripture. Things we mentioned that you might want to look up: Bible translations - we talk about a few different translations of the Bible, for example the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) and the NIV (New International Version). Both are translations from the original Hebrew (when we’re talking about the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible), but translate in slightly different ways. As we see here those differences can be very important (though often not).Rabbinic Judaism - refers to a time from about the 3rd century BC when groups of Jewish scholars, called Rabbis, were discussing the Bible in a particular way. Modern Judaism is descended from Rabbinic Judaism.‘Makes the hands unclean’ - a phrase from Rabbinic Judaism (e.g. in Mishnah Yadayim 3:5). The idea seems to be that certain holy things, like the books of Scripture/the Bible, have a sort of ‘holy contagion’. Seems backwards, but i think it might help explain some of the laws around menstruation. One thing against this interpretation is the long time difference between the Rabbinic writings (recorded in the Mishnah and Talmud) and the Biblical laws.Laws around rape discussed - the laws we discussed are in Deuteronomy 22:25 and 22:28. They say:25 But if in the countryside a man finds a young woman who is betrothed, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. 26 You shall do nothing to the young woman; the young woman has not committed an offense punishable by death, because this case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbour.28 If a man meets a virgin who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are caught in the act, 29 the man who lay with her shall give fifty shekels of silver to the young woman’s father, and she shall become his wife. Because he violated her he shall not be permitted to divorce her as long as he lives. The first law seems to be about rape, the second about consensual sex (though ‘seizes’ (taphas) seems coercive). The Hebrew word translated ‘forces’ in 22:25 is ‘chazaq’ and that in 22:28 ‘seizes’ is ‘taphas’. The NIV translates both words as ‘rape’. No matter how we should understand these laws, it seems clear enough that we shouldn’t use the same word to translate the two different words. A lot more needs to be said about this, but those are the basic facts about the words used.

I Myself Will Shepherd Them Lectionary Date: November 22, 2020 [25th Sunday after Pentecost, Reign of Christ Sunday, Year A] The 23rd Psalm is not the only biblical text to feature the shepherding metaphor! This week Rev. Dr. Safwat Marzouk joins Rachel and Tim to discuss Ezek 34, a powerful critique of Judah’s “shepherds” and a promise of divine shepherding for the vulnerable of God’s flock. Dr. Marzouk is Assoc. Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible at Anabapist Mennonite Biblical Seminary, in Elkhart, IN. We recommend his books, Intercultural Church: A Biblical Vision for an Age of Migration and Egypt as a Monster in the Book of Ezekiel. Safwat is also a contributor to the “Politics of Scripture” blog at politicaltheology.com. First Reading is happy to be partnering with the Political Theology Network by sharing this week’s episode as the “Politics of Scripture” blog entry for Nov 16!

In a special live episode of Love Rinse Repeat, Liam sat down with Monica Melanchthon, Lyndal Sherwin, and Renee Evans to talk about how we might read the Psalms and Prophets in the midst of a pandemic.Despite often being framed as a great equaliser, the impact of COVID is disproportionately metered out against the world's vulnerable people. The time of the pandemic has been accompanied, in Australia and elsewhere, by an intensified push to confront and overcome racial injustice, renewed emphasis on the need for urgent environmental activism, and revealed just how many people are willing to sacrifice their neighbours for the economy.The Prophets and the Psalms, texts often written and compiled in the wake of deep disruption, traumatic cataclysm, and the end of meaning, are unwavering in their demands for truth, lament, repentance justice, and hope. For this reason they are a potent place to turn amidst the crises of our day. Join us for a wide-ranging and relevant discussion on what the church can learn through the disruption and comfort that comes from reading these old texts in a new pandemic.Rev Associate Professor Monica Melanchthon teaches Old Testament/Hebrew Bible at Pilgrim Theological College (Melbourne, VIC). Monica has strong commitments to the marginalized, particularly, women and Dalits. She has contributed toward developing Dalit and Indian Feminist hermeneutics and theologies, and interpretation of Biblical texts drawing on insights from the social biographies of these communities, their perspectives and their lived experiences. Her approach is therefore contextual, inter disciplinary and liberational. Her research interests include cultural and literary studies, reception histories, epistemologies, ecological readings, feminist hermeneutics and interpretations.Lyndal Sherwin is an occupational therapist and mental health service manager, mother, theological student and member of H3O Church Dee Why.Renee Evans is a high school ancient history teacher, member of a new Baptist Church plant in Marrickville, who completed her BTh at Morling College.

Have you wrestled with yourself? With God? With forces outside yourself? We can use the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) story of Jacob to see how to do it, what to expect, and what the outcome could be. This story is timeless and relevant to this day. We’ll look at from many perspectives, all helpful in our current journey.  

Esther Menn, dean of academic affairs and Ralph W. and Marilyn R. Klein Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, preached during worship in the Augustana Chapel at LSTC on December 4. Her text was Matthew 24:23-35.

Walk in the Light Lectionary Date: December 1, 2019 [1st Sunday of Advent, Year A] This week, Rachel and Tim are joined by Dr. Tyler Mayfield, Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary (Tim’s alma mater!). He is the author of Literary Structure and Setting in Ezekiel (2010), which argues for a new reading of the biblical book of Ezekiel, and A Guide to Bible Basics (2018), which presents the contents of the Christian Bible to strengthen biblical literacy. Look for his forthcoming book, Unto Us A Child Is Born: Isaiah, Advent, and Our Jewish Neighbors, available for pre-order now at Eerdmans! He has written several book chapters and journal articles and enjoys writing regularly for the website, WorkingPreacher.org .

Barry's deep love of both the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and New Testament inspires us to listen in new ways to familiar texts as well as the ones we're not so aware of. They awaken our moral imagination to deeper values of justice and peace. About Barry Dr. Barry R. Huff is Assistant Professor of Religion at Principia College. His interests include wisdom literature, Psalms, Torah, creation theology, Intertextuality, ecological hermeneutics, and the reception history of the Bible. He received his PhD in Biblical Studies from Union Presbyterian Seminary, a ThM from Columbia Theological Seminary, and his MTS from Eden Theological Seminary.

God’s Power Manifested Through the Marginalized Lectionary Date: July 7, 2019 [4th Sunday after Pentecost, Year C] This week, Justin Reed joins Rachel and Tim for a conversation all about the healing of Naaman in 2 Kings 5. Justin is Assistant Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in KY, and an ordained Baptist minister. A PhD candidate at Princeton Theological Seminary, his research and teaching interests include ethnicity in the Hebrew Bible, inner-biblical interpretation, Bible in popular culture, and reception history. Justin’s dissertation explores Genesis 9:18-29, the passage about “Noah’s curse.” Throughout millennia, interpreters have read this passage through a particular, destructive ideological lens. Informed by critical race theory, Justin challenges this long-standing bias and proposes an alternate interpretation in which the context of the primeval history in Genesis and ironic use of intertextual allusions offer crucial interpretive clues and permit a more nuanced explication of how ethnocentrism has manifested in biblical literature. Justin explores some of these issues in his chapter, “‘How—how is this just?!’: How Aronofsky and Handel Handle Noah’s Curse” in Noah as Antihero: Darren Aronofsky’s Cinematic Deluge (Routledge, 2017) edited by Rhonda Burnette-Bletch and Jon Morgan.

Dr. Michael Coogan is lecturer on Old Testament/Hebrew Bible at Harvard Divinity School and the director of publications for the Harvard Semitic Museum. He is the author of God and Sex, The Ten Commandments: A Short History of an Ancient Text, The Old Testament: A Historical and Literary Introduction to the Hebrew Scriptures, and numerous textbooks on the Old Testament. He joined me on the phone to talk about his brand new book, God's Favorites: Judaism, Christianity, and the Myth of Divine Chosenness, out from Beacon Press.

This episode continues our exploration throughout the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) in which we observe how the Messiah was expected to be of the line of David, thus making him an authentic human figure. The Old Testament has a lot to say about the coming Son of David, especially within the Psalms and the Prophets. As the Son of David, Jesus exists as the climactic and long-awaited human descendant, and Jesus being a human figure is one of the central points of Biblical Unitarianism. This episode of the Biblical Unitarian Podcast will give you plenty to talk about as you begin conversations with others on these critically important topics of faith and theology.

In the first century C.E., Jesus was recognized by his followers as the "Messiah," a title denoting the anointed king of the kingdom in whom all of Israel's theology would find their climax. This office of Messiah came with a set of qualifications (i.e, job descriptions), and these qualifications are set out within the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible). This episode of the Biblical Unitarian Podcast begins to survey the qualifications of the Messiah set out within the Old Testament, finding primarily that the passages which various Jewish groups drew upon to characterize the anticipated Messiah seem to regard this figure as an authentic human being. We hope that this episode encourages you to dust off your Old Testament so that you can start some healthy conversations regarding the important topic of Jesus Christ's identity.

One of the major truth claims of Biblical Unitarians is that the God of the Bible is a single person (rather than a multi-personal God taught within binitarian and trinitarian faiths). This episode beings to scratch the surface of the massive amount of biblical data that demonstrates that God is a single person. We survey a variety of texts, both in the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) and within the New Testament. We particularly note how Jesus Christ himself taught on multiple occasions this very truth, namely that God is one person.

Hope in a Time of Climate Change: A Conversation between Religion and Science ANNUAL LECTURE IN HONOR OF RICHARD J. CLIFFORD, S.J. Thursday, April 6, 2017 Presenter:  Carol A. Newsom Human induced climate change is the most serious problem confronting the ecology of our planet.  Was this an inevitable consequence of the appearance of humans in the ecosystem?  How should we think about how we got to this terrifying state, and how can we think hopefully about the future?  Anthropologists who study the emergence of homo sapiens present an account of our origins that engages in intriguing ways with the Israelite reflections on human origins in Genesis 1-11.  Here is a conversation between religion and science that offers true insight into how our unique nature is both a danger and a promise in this fragile world. Sponsored by the School of Theology and Ministry,  and generously supported by the Kitz Family in honor of Richard J. Clifford, S.J. Carol A. Newsom is the C. H. Candler Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible at the Candler School of Theology, Emory University. 

Apologetics 9: Old Testament Transmission What reasons do we have for believing the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) was reliable transmitted from antiquity to today? This lecture provides four arguments: (1) Jewish scribes were competent, (2) people memorized large portions of the text, (3) the consequences for false prophecy, and (4) the Dead Sea Scrolls function Read more about Podcast 58: Is the Old Testament Reliable?

In this episode we welcome special guest Dr Rick Strassman to the show. Rick Strassman MD performed the first new human studies with psychedelic drugs in the US in over 20 years. His research involved the powerful naturally-occurring compound, DMT – N,N-dimethyltryptamine. Led to this substance through his earlier study of the pineal gland as a potential biological locus for spiritual experiences, he administered several hundred doses of DMT to approximately 60 volunteers between 1990 and 1995. He wrote about this research in the popular book, DMT: The Spirit Molecule, which has sold over 100,000 copies, has been translated into 12 languages, and is now available as an audio-book. It also inspired an independent documentary by the same name, picked up by Warner Bros distributing in Fall, 2011. With three distinguished collaborators, he co-authored Inner Paths to Outer Space, which looks more carefully at the common "other worlds" experience that volunteers frequently reported during his research. Since 1996, Dr. Strassman has been exploring models for the DMT effect focusing primarily on the Old Testament concept of prophecy. Prophecy is a spiritual experience which takes into account the apparently external, free-standing nature of the DMT "worlds," in which one's sense of self is highly preserved and interactive. The Old Testament concept of prophecy provides an alternative to other models that borrow more heavily from Eastern religious systems, and those of Latin American shamanism. Dr Strassman has just completed his recent work DMT and the Soul of Prophecy where he tackles the major unresolved issue with which he was left after finishing his DMT project nearly 20 years ago. This was to find a model that fit the data from the volunteers’ reports of the drug state. This ultimately led him to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) where the notion of a “prophetic state of consciousness” began taking shape. At the same time, in order to make sense of the Hebrew Bible, he turned to the classic medieval Jewish philosophers like Maimonides, who proposed rather sophisticated metaphysical/spiritual mechanisms for the prophetic experience. Thus, to the extent that the prophetic and DMT states resembled each other, Dr Strassman could propose metaphysical and spiritual mechanisms in common in addition to shared biological mechanisms.

In this two-part episode, we continue our series on the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible by examining one of scripture’s most difficult stories--God choosing to unleash a flood designed to kill all living beings on the planet except a select few. In this episode, panelists David Bokovoy, Tom Roberts, and Brian Hauglid examine the scriptural text itself, including the interwoven (and quite different) J and P sources and the stories and traditions that they borrow from. The also explore takes and angles on the story presented by LDS thinkers, the wider Christian world, and Islam. What theological or devotional value can we find in this story? How can we still honor the text’s mythic truths even as its cosmological worldview and claims about a global deluge fly in the face of scientific evidence? Can open up room in LDS discourse for non-literal but still theologically uplifting readings of such claims as it must be understood as a universal flood because the earth needed to be "baptized"?

The texts that Latter-day Saints and other Christians call the Old Testament (differing from scholars, who use Hebrew Bible or Tanakh) is both wonderfully rich and very problematic scripture. Its richness derives from its status as an account of how ancient persons saw the world, the nature of God, and the human condition. These venerable writings contain great wisdom and insight, as well as wonderful plays on words and intricate literary forms. They also contain differing viewpoints from different sources that redactors (editors) placed side by side, unafraid that readers would encounter diverse accounts of everything from the Creation to Hebrew law and God’s actions among human beings. Through the centuries, however, because we in the western world encounter them through translation rather than in their original languages, and because we are largely unfamiliar with the wider traditions of the ancient Near East upon which many of the accounts draw for elements of the stories they tell, we have allowed layers and layers of interpretation to build up, and these additions and attempts to systematize or harmonize with our preferred views have become the dominant forces driving how we read these texts. And most often, we just don’t realize that this is what we are doing. This has led, in some cases, to extremely problematic renderings that lead people to reject important truths discovered by science, to blame women for the negative conditions of this world, or to beliefs about black skin being a curse from God, etc. Or, even if not quite so harmful, it has led to quite tortured attempts to make the books seem inerrant and without disagreement with other parts of the texts, or leading some into numerology or other searches for hidden patterns within the writings that unlocks for them some types of secret knowledge. If these later overlays were removed as much as is humanly possible, what would we find that the texts reveal about themselves and the worldviews and intentions of the original writers? Would we still find these scriptures as meaningful as we do now due to the assumptions we bring and interpretations we add? Could our relationship to these scriptures change in a positive way if we were to let them speak for themselves and allow the genuine distance between us and these ancient writers to truly become clear to us, giving us breathing room to see that these writings are not "history" in the sense we use that term today, that these are not (nor were they intended to be) scientific texts describing cosmos, earth, nature, or human origins? In this four-part podcast, two wonderful guides to the Hebrew Bible, David Bokovoy and Tom Roberts, join Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon for the first of an occasional series approaching these important texts, concentrating in the early episodes on Genesis and its key (and most problematic) stories. Episode 194 concentrates on background into the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, the history of scriptural scholarship and approaches to the texts, including the theories emerging from "source criticism" that the Pentateuch (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible) combine the writings of four different authors or groups--abbreviated as J, E, P, and D--that long after they were written were pulled together into one big text by redactors, as well as the climate within Mormonism and wider Christianity for information of the nature that is being shared in this series.

Academy Discourse - God and Sex - What the Bible Really Says Professor Michael Coogan, Director of Publications for the Harvard Semitic Museum and Lecturer on Old Testament/Hebrew Bible at Harvard Divinity School Thursday, 16 February 2012, Academy House Opposing sides on abortion, same-sex marriage, and other so-called “family values” often appeal to the Bible in support of their contradictory positions, as though the Bible were an authority beyond question. But the Bible speaks with many voices, not one, and some of its values are no longer ours. A close look at the story of David and Bathsheba, one of the most famous and most ambiguous biblical narratives, will illustrate these issues. www.ria.ie Disclaimer: The Royal Irish Academy has prepared the content of this website responsibly and carefully, but disclaims all warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy of the information contained in any of the materials.
