Podcast appearances and mentions of stephen langton

Overview:In this episode, Ryan and Brian return after a brief hiatus to dive into the topic of breaks in Scripture—chapter, verse, paragraph, and section breaks—and how these editorial additions impact the way we read and interpret the Bible. They discuss the historical origins of these breaks, their purpose, and how they can sometimes obscure the original flow of the text. Using examples from John, Matthew, Isaiah, Philippians, and Colossians, they highlight “bad breaks” and offer practical strategies for reading Scripture more holistically.Key Topics Discussed:Life Updates:Brian shares his experience at Northern Seminary, meeting his doctoral cohort, and taking a class with Matthew Bates, author of Gospel Allegiance and Beyond the Salvation War. Bates has promised to join the podcast in July.Ryan discusses his ongoing classes, including a deep-dive exegetical study of Philippians, which inspired this episode's topic.Both hosts have been busy with school, leading to a brief podcast break, but they're excited to be back.Historical Context of Breaks in Scripture:New Testament: Originally written without breaks, punctuation, or chapters, using conjunctions like kai (and) and de (but) to structure sentences.Old Testament: Some books, like Psalms, had natural breaks, but most chapter breaks were added in the 13th century by Stephen Langton, Archbishop of Canterbury. Verses were introduced in the late 16th century, with the Geneva Bible (c. 1607) being the first to include them.Purpose: Chapters and verses were added to make referencing easier (e.g., John 3:16), but they can sometimes disrupt the text's flow.King James Version (1611): Early adoption of chapter and verse divisions, which explains why some verses are “missing” in modern translations due to improved textual criticism.Types of Breaks and Their Impact:Chapter Breaks: Can seem arbitrary, as humorously attributed to Langton's “horseback” decisions.Paragraph Breaks: Editorial decisions in Greek texts (e.g., Nestle-Aland 28, UBS 5) and English translations (e.g., NIV) that vary and affect interpretation.Section Breaks: Headings in modern Bibles, added by editors, can influence how readers group and understand passages.Examples of “Bad Breaks” in Scripture:John 20:24-31 (Doubting Thomas):A section break after verse 29 separates Thomas's story from the Gospel's purpose statement (verses 30-31). Reading them together shows Thomas as a negative example, encouraging readers to believe without seeing, based on reliable testimony.Key Insight: Section headings can disconnect related thoughts, obscuring the author's intent.Matthew 24-25 (Jesus' Teaching on the Second Coming):The chapter break between 24:51 and 25:1 disrupts a continuous teaching about faithfulness and preparedness. The parable of the virgins (25:1-13) logically follows the servant parable (24:45-51).Key Insight: Chapter breaks can fragment unified discourses, missing the broader context.Isaiah 52:13-53:3 (Suffering Servant):The chapter break between 52:15 and 53:1 splits the introduction of the servant (52:13-15) from the description (53:1-3), which is part of the same discourse.Key Insight: Reading across chapter breaks reveals the full context of familiar passages.Philippians 1:12-15 (Paul's Chains):A chapter break at verse 15 disconnects Paul's discussion

Stephen Langton strikes again! Langton was the man who gave us our Chapter divisions in the Bible. And they're more helpful than not, more often than not. But sometimes, as in the break for John, chapter 10, they can disconnect material that should remain connected. Jim's message is called, A Sure Thing.

When the Bible was originally written, there were no chapter and verse divisions. Chapter and verse breaks were added over time as the list below indicates.New Testament chapter divisions were added in the 12th Century by the Archbishop of Canterbury. His name was Stephen Langton.The Wycliffe English Bible of 1382 was the first Bible to be published with New Testament chapter divisions.The Old Testament chapters were divided into verses in 1448 by a Jewish Rabbi named Nathan. The New Testament chapters were divided into verses in 1555 by a man named Robert Estienne.Thank God for the chapter and verse divisions. They are very helpful in helping us find put place in the Bible. They aid us in memorization. They facilitate easy location of Bible verses. They aid us in a number of ways. But there are times when they get in the way of our understanding of the biblical context. This is why we need to keep going when we reach a period. This is also why we need to read before the chapter we are reading or preaching from at the moment. The Bible is the Word of God. It is inspired, infallible, and inerrant. While this is true, the chapter and verse division are not inspired by the Holy Spirit, and they must never be treated as part of the inspired canon of the Word.Tell me what you think.alancarr@gmail.comOur website is: https://preachingmatters.buzzsprout.com/The podcast is a ministry of Dr. Alan Carr and The Sermon Notebook (http://www.sermonnotebook.org)Support the show

Scott and Kevin describe the life and times of this consequential thirteenth-century cardinal and archbishop, who had a major impact on two of western civilization's great documents: the Bible and the Magna Carta.

Getting the tyrannical King John to sign the Magna Carta was a huge moment for individual rights (of barons).  By curtailing tyrannical power it laid the foundations for liberty. Down to the diplomatic powers and conciliatory effort of Archbishop Stephen Langton. Who also left a significant legacy to how we organise the Bible 

The chapter divisions we see in our Bibles were not present originally. Stephen Langton (c. 1150–1228), a Paris theologian and, later, Archbishop of Canterbury, is usually credited with introducing the divisions that we know. This is one place where we see the . . . Continue reading →

Whatever your impression about the conventional "Board of Directors", its make-up, breadth and accountability are all about to change. That’s the view of this week's guest, Stephen Langton - head of the Board & CEO Advisory Group for the Asia Pacific region at Russel Reynolds Associates. Langton says – perhaps surprisingly – that Asia is making a play to lead reforms in Board effectiveness. He says that in many countries in the region, governments, customers, shareholders, and citizens are demanding more from corporations and calling out Boards to do more and drive results. Boards are increasingly being called to task on the so-called “social license to operate” or SLO. But are companies ready to deliver something more than customer value and think in broad terms about environment, community and the greater social well-being?

What was the Church's role in the creation of Magna Carta? We all know about "Bad King John" and his barons, but this was a religiously charged document. The very first and the very last clause declare that "The Church must be free," and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, almost certainly drafted it. Ernie Rea is joined by the Very Rev June Osborne, Dean of Salisbury , whose Cathedral houses one of the four original copies of Magna Carta; Simon Barrow Co Director of Ekklesia, a Christian think tank; and David Carpenter, Professor of Medieval History at Kings College London and one of the investigators involved in the Magna Carta Project which is researching the context, production and reception of Magna Carta.
