Is the book not a roadmap of the future but something far more relevant to the here and now?Here to help us decode this mysterious piece of literature is Dr. Shane J.

** This is part 2 of a 2 part interview. **Continuing from last week's episode, Trevor and Ryan continue the conversation with a return guest–Shane J. Wood, first appearing on episode #59. Shane is releasing a new book (Thinning The Veil: Encountering Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation, linked below) that helps address a question we brought up in this past Sunday's sermon: how is an average American Christian supposed to read prophetic and apocalyptic literature the way the author intended it to be read? Guided by Shane's upcoming book and the Book of Revelation, the guys unpack God's incredibly costly, loving pursuit of us, how the average Christian can faithfully read the prophetic and apocalyptic literature in the Bible, and how Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show was a great example of layered art that mimics biblical apocalyptic and prophetic literature.Remember, this is part two! You may be lost in this episode's conversation if you missed the first part, so go back and watch that before starting this episode!Thinning The Veil: Encountering Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation by Shane J.

** This is part 1 of a 2 part interview. **This interview is guaranteed to make you laugh, cry, and say "huh!" a little too loud in a quiet public place. In this episode, Trevor and Ryan are joined by a return guest–Shane J. Wood, last appearing on episode #59. Shane is releasing a new book (Thinning The Veil: Encountering Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation, linked below) that helps address a question we brought up in this past Sunday's sermon: how is an average American Christian supposed to read prophetic and apocalyptic literature the way the author intended it to be read? Guided by Shane's upcoming book and the Book of Revelation, the guys unpack topics of cultural and historical background, human emotion, and how symbolism and art best communicate topics that stretch language to its breaking point. Remember, this is only part one! Even though the themes of genre will be tackled more directly in the second part of this interview (in episode #205), notice how it is implicitly addressed here. Enjoy the episode, and stay tuned next week for the next part!Shane's Previous Episode on Between Two Trees (#59)https://youtu.be/dp2BSFZXy9A?si=dUyfyU9BvhSBML3QThinning The Veil: Encountering Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation by Shane J.

Q&A on the book of Revelation with Elijah Dally, Jim Dalrymple, and Dr. Shane J. Wood. 

One of the last two episodes of Season 2! Today we talk with Dr. Shane Wood about his own formation journey and how it connects to his latest book, Between Two Trees: Our Transformation From Death to Life.Dr. Wood brings the flowing narrative of the Bible out of the strict academic space. He helps us see the wise connection points between our own story and the Scriptures' narrative of life and death. Our conversation is practical, vulnerable, and well worth your time.Shane J. Wood completed his Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh (UK) and published his dissertation entitled The Alter-Imperial Paradigm: Empire Studies & the Book of Revelation (BINTS 140; Leiden: Brill, 2016).

This week, Shane J. Wood (Ph.D.) joins the conversation to discuss his latest book, 'Between Two Trees: Our Transformation From Death to Life'. Shane contends that the problem of Eden is much worse than we thought... but there is hope! Shane also contends that the solution is much better than we could have ever imagined!  The truth is... Life is not lived under Eden's tree of life nor beneath the healing leaves of the tree in new Jerusalem. We live between those two trees... and between those two trees, life is hard! In spite of this, however, Shane challenges us to embrace hope, love, and the beauty of reconciliation at the true tree of life... the Cross of Calvary.  This was an amazing conversation that you will not want to miss!    RESOURCES: Between Two Trees: Our Transformation From Death to Life (Book) ShaneJWood.com (Shane's Website)
