We read the exciting chapter 2 of 1 Maccabees, comparing it to the story of Phinehas in Numbers 25:7-9, as well as in the light of Psalm 106: 26-28 and Hebrews 11. The problem of violence done by biblical heroes is considered, as well as the faithfulness and courage of Mattathias, the father of the Maccabean brothers.

We consider the importance of history and human chronicles to our faith, beginning our exploration of 1 Maccabees, with its first chapter. In this we note its embeddedness in the flow of history, its connections with Daniel, Hebrews, and 1 Corinthians, and its challenges to us today.

The Epistle of Jeremiah (found sometimes as Baruch 6) is illumined by reference to Matthew 6:21, Numbers 21:4-9, 4 Kingdoms/2 Kings 18:4, Jeremiah 2:13, 1 Corinthians 8 and 10, Philippians 3:18-19, and Colossians 3:5. We apply the prophet's words regarding idolatry of man-made things to present day idolatries of various sorts, and also consider how icons are meant to point us to the living God, not to distract us from the One who alone is good.

In this episode we read the concluding consolation of Baruch 4:9-5:9, understanding it in the light of Isaiah 60:14, Isaiah 61:1-4, 9-10, 2 Tim 4:8, and Rev 21:1-4, 22-26. Here the prophet turns from confession to joy, anticipating the glory which God will bestow upon His people, seen in part now, but fully in the age to come.

We read the central portion of Baruch (3:9-4:8), understanding its mysterious words about Wisdom in light of Deuteronomy 3:11-14, Romans 10:5-13, 1 Cor 1:30-31. The prophet saw Wisdom in the Law, but also glimpsed the time when Wisdom would visit us as a human being, the LORD Jesus Himself.

Baruch 2-3, the honest confession of the exiled people before God, is a very helpful reading for our time of Lenten repentance, and is clarified by reference to Dan 9:7-19, Deuteronomy 28:15-69, Deuteronomy 30, Jeremiah 24:1-10 and 2 Chronicles 6:12-42.

Why should we pray for secular leaders? Hear about this and also about the importance corporate confession from Baruch 1, with light from Romans 13, Daniel 9, and 1 Timothy 2.

This week we read the lengthy commemorative poem of “the fathers” in Sirach 44-50, comparing it with Wisdom of Solomon 10 and Hebrews 11, and understanding it by reference to other books in both the OT and the NT. Here we discover both the respect and realism of Sirach, as he remembers the great figures of the past, and see how the LORD used these for the benefit of all His people, until He came to be with us in the God-Man, and imparted His glory to all who believe, through the Holy Spirit.

Alex Shabo created The Hybrid Letter to bring us content in another form, the ability to read about the top athletes and different experts in the hybrid world through a newsletter.

In this episode we concentrate upon Sirach's treatment of Lady Wisdom in chapters 24 and 51, noticing significant links with the Psalms and prophets, with Jesus' own invitation to learn from Him, with Paul, and with the book of Revelation. The free offering of Wisdom and the mystery associated with it are both fulfilled in Christ.

Brendan Kennedy is the chief editor and translator of the Readable Bible. We discuss the process of translating the Bible and we look at specific verses, including Deut. 32.8 and Ps. 82.1 and how they relate to the divine council.

In this episode, we consider the overall richness of the Wisdom of Sirach, and then zero in on the Prologue, with chapters 1-2, seeing their major themes of wisdom and fear of the LORD, and helped in this by considering Job 38-40, Proverbs 9, James 1-3, and Ephesians 1-4.

We read the third and final section of Wisdom of Solomon (chapters 10-19), in which we hear of Wisdom's journeys with the Hebrew people, the power of the Word of God who joins earth and heaven, and the ever-present strength of the Holy Spirit to guide us on our journey. The section is clarified by reference especially to Romans 1 and 1 Corinthians 15.

This week we consider the central section of the Wisdom of Solomon, where Wisdom is pictured for us as a radiant woman, who both seeks us and is to be sought above all things. With the help of Romans 1 and 10-11, John 1, Hebrews 1, and various Church fathers, we understand her as pointing forward to the Son and the Holy Spirit, who make us friends of God.

In this episode we read the first section of Wisdom of Solomon (chapters 1-6), and understand its connection of righteousness and wisdom by means of Proverbs 8:8-18, 1 Cor 1:30-31, and the humble death of the God-Man for our sake.

We consider the exciting and curious book of Judith, paying attention to its genre, and its connections with the stories of Miriam, Jael (Judges 4), Rebecca (Gen 27), Tamar (Gen 38), Naomi and Ruth, and a passage about wisdom in 1 Corinthians. Judith gives us a pattern for humility and courage, even while we may have Christian questions regarding this story.

In this second reading of Tobit, we see its connection with Amos 8:10, Daniel 3:51-90, Revelation 21:18-21, and notice how the prophecies and prayers of the book both accompany its action, and speak in times of distress today.

This week we do an overview of the delightful story of Tobit, concentrating on its supporting characters, and stressing God's unexpected provisions for us on the natural level.

In this episode we read Esther 3:13a-g, 5:1-13 LXX, and 8:12a-I, considering the royal decrees of the king, the dramatic scene where Esther enters his presence without invitation, and the misinformation about the Jewish people which he finally rejects. We are helped in seeing the significance of these fascinating scenes by recourse to Psalm 85/6, Phil 2:5-11, and 1 Timothy 2:1-2

“What would the Bible look like if God spoke through Moses, David, and Paul today?” Today’s guest got… The post What would the Bible look like if God spoke through Moses, David, and Paul today? Rod Laughlin on the Readable Bible appeared first on Theology Mix.

“What would the Bible look like if God spoke through Moses, David, and Paul today?”Today's guest got his idea while browsing an airport bookstore. He realized that all the nonfiction books were formatted differently from his Bible and he started thinking about what would make the Scriptures easier for modern readers to understand. And so, the Readable Bible came came to life. Its unique format reveals concepts in Scripture that you may never have noticed before.Find out more at readablebible.com.

This week we consider the structure of LXX Esther in general, and hone in on its introductory and concluding vision and Interpretation (,Esther 1:1a-1l; 10:3a-3k) which put the agency of God front and center for us to praise! We are helped by considering parallels and differences with Job 40-41; Daniel 1, 7-8, Luke 1:46-55, Rev. 12, and Psalm 15 LXX/16MT: 5-7.

This week we read the three episodes of Bel and the Dragon (found at the end of the book of Daniel), appreciating the story's ancient pedigree, its humor, and its sharp reminder to worship God alone. We are helped by comparing its words to Jeremiah 50:2 (LXX 27:2), Jeremiah 51:44 (LXX 28:44), Habakkuk 2:4, and 1 Cor 10:19-20.

This week we read the story of Susanna, found either in the prologue of Daniel or Daniel 13 (dependent upon the version used). Susanna is an excellent example of the charms and depth of the Readable Books, adding to doctrine and morals an appreciation for the domestic life and the spunkiness of its heroine, whose story is here analyzed with reference to Daniel 3:17-18, Romans 4, and Psalm 3:1-4.

In this episode, we enter into Daniel 3:51-90, in which the three youths give voice to the whole of creation, which praises God. We also wonder at the appearance of the glorious Man, who prefigures the humility and love of our Lord, descending to the depths to save us from death and sin ( 1 Peter 3:18-20). Listeners are encouraged to read the entire song, which is prominent in our Paschal liturgy and has been sung for centuries by the Church.

We read the rest of Azariah's prayer, followed by a short narrative, found in Daniel 3:37-50, with the help of Psalm 50/51 and Ezra (in the OSB, 2 Ezra) 8:71-87. Azariah's utter honesty and trust in the philanthropic LORD leads to God's answer—His presence with them in the furnace, as Azariah and his friends offer the fruit of their lips.

In this first episode of the series, we consider the Readable Books (aka Deuterocanonical, Apocryphal) in general, and how they are esteemed by Orthodox, and then read the poignant prayer of Azariah (Daniel 3:25-36), seeing it in the light of Genesis 15, Psalm 79, Romans 3:4, and Rev 16:7.

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 C.E., it covered the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under tons of ash. Millennia later, in the mid-18th century, archeologists began to unearth the city, including its famed libraries, but the scrolls they found were too fragile to be unrolled and read; their contents were thought to be lost forever. Only now, thanks to the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning, scholars of the ancient world have partnered with computer programmers to unlock the contents of these priceless documents. In this episode of “There's More to That,” science journalist and Smithsonian contributor Jo Marchant tells us about the yearslong campaign to read these scrolls. And Youssef Nader—one of the three winners of last year's “Vesuvius Challenge” to make these clumps of vulcanized ash readable—tells us how he and his teammates achieved their historic breakthrough.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New LessWrong feature: Dialogue Matching, published by jacobjacob on November 16, 2023 on LessWrong. The LessWrong team is shipping a new experimental feature today: dialogue matching! I've been leading work on this (together with Ben Pace, kave, Ricki Heicklen, habryka and RobertM), so wanted to take some time to introduce what we built and share some thoughts on why I wanted to build it. New feature! There's now a dialogue matchmaking page at lesswrong.com/dialogueMatching Here's how it works: You can check a user you'd potentially be interested in having a dialogue with, if they were too They can't see your checks unless you match It also shows you some interesting data: your top upvoted users over the last 18 months, how much you agreed/disagreed with them, what topics they most frequently commented on, and what posts of theirs you most recently read. Next, if you find a match, this happens: You get a tiny form asking for topic ideas and format preferences, and then we create a dialogue that summarises your responses and suggests next steps based on them. Currently, we're mostly sourcing auto-suggested topics from Ben's neat poll where people voted on interesting disagreement they'd want to see debated, and also stated their own views. I'm pretty excited to further explore this and other ways for auto-suggesting good topics. My hypothesis is that we're in a bit of a dialogue overhang: there are important conversations out there to be had, but that aren't happening. We just need to find them. This feature is an experiment in making it easier to do many of the hard steps in having a dialogue: finding a partner, finding a topic, and coordinating on format. To try the Dialogue Matching feature, feel free to on head over to lesswrong.com/dialogueMatching ! Me and the team are super keen to hear any and all feedback. Feel free to share in comments below or using the intercom button in the bottom right corner :) Why build this? A retreat organiser I worked with long ago told me: "the most valuable part of an event usually aren't the big talks, but the small group or 1-1 conversations you end up having in the hallways between talks." I think this points at something important. When Lightcone runs events, we usually optimize the small group experience pretty hard. In fact, when building and renovating our campus Lighthaven, we designed it to have lots of little nooks and spaces in order to facilitate exactly this kind of interaction. With dialogues, I feel like we're trying to enable an interaction on LessWrong that's also more like a 1-1, and less like a broadcasting talk to an audience. But we're doing so with two important additions: Readable artefacts. Usually the results of a 1-1 are locked in with the people involved. Sometimes that's good. But other times, Dialogues enable a format where good stuff that came out of it can be shared with others. Matchmaking at scale. Being a good event organiser involves a lot of effort to figure out who might have valuable conversations, and then connecting them. This can often be super valuable (thought experiment: imagine introducing Von Neumann and Morgenstern), but takes a lot of personalised fingertip feel and dinner host mojo. Using dialogue matchmaking, I'm curious about a quick experiment to try to doing this at scale, in an automated way. Overall, I think there's a whole class of valuable content here that you can't even get out at all outside of a dialogue format. The things you say in a talk are different from the things you'd share if you were being interviewed on a podcast, or having a conversation with a friend. Suppose you had been mulling over a confusion about AI. Your thoughts are nowhere near the point where you could package them into a legible, ordered talk and then go present them. So, what do you do? I think...

In the episode, learn how Rod Laughlin's insatiable desire to acquaint friends and strangers with the Bible devoted years of his life to developing The Readable Bible. The first complete format update of the Bible in over one hundred years! Accurate. Approachable. Understandable. Groundbreaking. During the past two hundred years, more than a dozen new formats have been developed to make information easier to read. Yet, Bibles are still using plain text in paragraphs. The 23 types of information found in the Readable Bible are now presented in the 17 formats that are standard in today's non-fiction books. This update makes accessing and engaging with the timeless teachings of God's Word easier than ever. The Readable Bible is available to purchase via Ironstream Media.

Just an hour. Under moorland trees. An hour to listen, to the weather, the flurries of rain. How they come and go. And the steady currents of wind. Force rising. Easing. Settling. Rising, rising again. Holding. Then easing. Blowing and sprinkling the falling raindrops over wide, waxy, sheltering leaves.  In time. Slowly becoming aware, in the quietness, of how many different layers of sound are not just audible, but readable, in a tucked away place like this. Readable to us, like words scratched into smooth bark. You. Are. Safe. Here. Because you have inherited the understanding of what the trees are saying, passed down by a million years of human evolution amongst trees. And you are immersed. And you are safe. Everything you are hearing is telling your vigilant brain there is nothing and no one about.  You. Here. Hidden. Up in the Derbyshire hills. Sat, on dry leaf litter, lent against a gently slanted tree trunk. Listening. Indistinguishable.  ------------------------- A thank you to the Lento Supporters Club.

Today we delve into The Readable Bible, a brand-new illustrative translation that presents the text in modern formats and translates it as we speak today. Our guest is Rod Laughlin, the founder and team leader of The Readable Bible, who shares the inspiration behind the project and how it differs from other versions. The Readable Bible features unique formatting such as family trees for genealogies, tables and charts for numerical data, and outlines for law code. Rod shares how he spent 25 years creating the translation, and how over 100 people have worked with him on this project. We also learn how this version of the Bible is most helpful and what is next for The Readable Bible. Join us as we explore this exciting new approach to the Bible that makes it easier to comprehend and retain. Personally, I wasn't so sure about a new Bible translation, but Rod graciously answered a few thoughts that were spinning in my head as I prepared for this interview. Rod Laughlin became a Christian when he was twenty-eight years old. Desiring to know more about the Bible, he earned an MDiv at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. After serving the Lord as the pastor of two churches and in many other ways for thirty-seven years, he sensed God's call to put the Bible into modern formats. He has spent the last fourteen years leading a team to create The Readable Bible. Over one-hundred people have worked with him on this project.

Eve Harow always asks ‘why?' On this week's show she interviews Comedian Mark Schiff on his new book ‘'Why Not? Lessons on Comedy, Courage and Chutzpah'. You'll laugh and cry, smile and wince. Then you'll turn to page 2.  He chronicles the pain behind the jokes and the bumps (and chumps) on the road to fame, forgiveness and friendship with some of the funniest people out there.  Mark also shed 50 lbs and the lean man is less mean, more vulnerable and grateful to Judaism for its life lessons. Readable and raw. Enjoy.

I'm excited to present an interview with Rod Laughlin, the creator of The Readable Bible, a brand new translation and Bible-reading experience.I met Rod at the Christian Product Expo (got it right this time) in August of 2022, and we started talking about what he had created and was just about to release. I was really intrigued and excited because he had independently created several things I had made for myself just for my personal use in my own Bible study, and included that in this new translation. He has now released The Readable Bible, and you can get a discount by using this discount code READABLEDEV  at Bit.ly/trbdiscount.Find out more at The Readable Bible's website, https://www.readablebible.com. (I am not making any money off any promotion of the Readable Bible, I'm just that excited about this new concept)-----------LINKS----------Support 10WB on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/10weekbibleThe 10 Week Bible - http://www.10WeekBible.comTwitter: @DarrenHibbs - https://twitter.com/DarrenHibbsSign up for my newsletter - http://www.darrenhibbs.comGet a copy of the 10 Week Bible Study today - https://www.amazon.com/Darren-Hibbs/e/B00B4I47CE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl2&tag=darrenhcom0a-20&linkId=401f3d79974c70929517936977e32df9My other YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChUU0XHSHuhSyN8qk-7efYgBuy the 10 Week Bible Study guide for Esther today -- https://amzn.to/3iui33mSupport the show
