In this conversation, author Ross Douthat draws from the tradition to tackle a foundational question: Why believe?Amid evidence that America's long trend of secularization has leveled off, a perception of the limits of a strictly materialist worldview, and growing dissatisfaction with “do it yourself” approaches to spirituality, what does traditional faith uniquely offer those seeking truth in our time?New York Times columnist and author Ross Douthat joins us for this conversation, making the case for Christianity and rejecting atheism, all through the lens of reason: “I think secularization as a deep and profound phenomenon is not real, as you can tell. I think the world remains shot through with miracle and mystery and enchantment.” – Ross Douthat We hope this conversation provides a look at faith from a fresh angle, and encourages you in practicing traditional faith as an answer to the search for truth in our time.This podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in February 2025.

O LORD, I give my life to you.2     I trust in you, my God!Do not let me be disgraced,    or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.3 No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,    but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.4 Show me the right path, O LORD;    point out the road for me to follow.5 Lead me by your truth and teach me,    for you are the God who saves me.    All day long I put my hope in you.6 Remember, O LORD, your compassion and unfailing love,    which you have shown from long ages past.7 Do not remember the rebellious sins of my youth.    Remember me in the light of your unfailing love,    for you are merciful, O LORD.Psalm 25:1-7The Book of Psalms is without question one of the most well-known books of the Bible. You open up your Bible in the middle and you're likely to open to a Psalm. Psalms are read at weddings and funerals, you see them written on artwork and mugs and frames. But how should we read the Psalms? What does Psalms teach us about God and about ourselves? Today I'm grateful to have Dr. Tremper Longman navigating us through the book of Psalms. Dr. Longman is the author of How to Read the Psalms, the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary on Psalms, and was one of the lead translators for the New Living Translation or NLT. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

The story of the Exodus sets the pattern for God’s deliverance throughout Scripture, but it becomes most visible when you look at the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

When God sent Moses to Pharaoh to deliver the people of Israel, it wasn’t a political battle, but a supernatural one. And there was never any question about the outcome.

This week, we share a recent Soundings Seminar conversation with Tremper Longman, a distinguished biblical scholar and prolific author.  As we all know, it's a big election year in America.  How might the Bible speak to and inform our vote as Christians? Tremper offers a thoughtful and grounded response to that question, drawing on insights from his 2020 book, The Bible and the Ballot: Using Scripture in Political Decisions.  Rev. Bill Haley facilitates the conversation, which is co-sponsored by Restoration Anglican Church in Arlington, VA.View Our Full Archive of Soundings SeminarsExplore Coracle's "Christian Discipleship & American Politics" Resource Collectioninthecoracle.org  |  @inthecoracleSupport the show

Lee Job 25:1–26:14 En un juicio, cada abogado tiene la oportunidad de presentar un argumento final ante el juez y el jurado. De la misma manera, en el capítulo 25 de Job, escuchamos un discurso final de Bildad. Comienza fuerte, proclamando: “Dios es poderoso e infunde temor” (v. 2). En los versículos 3 y 4 continúa haciendo preguntas profundas. Si hubiera terminado después del versículo 4, nos sentiríamos obligados a unirnos a él, declarando: ¡No hay nadie como nuestro Dios! Pero, lamentablemente, Bildad siguió hablando. Los versículos 5 y 6 expusieron su visión sesgada de la humanidad. Bildad compara a hombres y mujeres con gusanos; un ser humano a una lombriz. Estas declaraciones despectivas estaban dirigidas a Job, que se encontraba en malas condiciones físicas. Bildad estaba tratando de poner a Job en su lugar. En su comentario, Tremper Longman contrasta el punto de vista de Bildad con los salmos: “El salmista se siente impulsado a reflexionar sobre la dignidad de la humanidad al decir: ‘Lo hiciste poco menor que los ángeles y lo coronaste de gloria y de honra. Le diste dominio sobre la obra de tus manos; todo lo pusiste bajo sus pies: todas las ovejas, todos los bueyes, todos los animales del campo, las aves del cielo, los peces del mar y todo lo que surca los senderos del mar' (Salmo 8:5 –8 )”. Bildad había olvidado que Dios creó a los humanos a Su propia imagen. Las Escrituras dicen: “Y Dios creó al ser humano a su imagen” (Génesis 1:27). Si bien es cierto que la imagen de Dios en la humanidad ha sido estropeada por el pecado, no somos gusanos. Nuestro Creador nos da valor y dignidad. En el versículo 4, Bildad preguntó: “¿Cómo puede una persona declararse justo ante Dios?” La respuesta es que somos hechos justos al poner fe en la Persona y obra de Jesucristo. ¿Has puesto tu fe en Jesucristo para salvación? Si no, ¿por qué no hablar hoy con un pastor o un amigo cristiano sobre esto? O visita radiomoody.org/conoce-a-cristo/. Ora con nosotros Jesús nuestro Señor, ayúdanos a dejar de lado nuestras propias ambiciones y objetivos. Enséñanos a buscar Tu propósito para nuestras vidas y encontrar nuestro valor y dignidad en Ti, nuestro Creador y Redentor. ¡Amén!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2024 election is fast approaching and many Christians are still left wondering whose policies best represent the Bible's teachings. Today, we're talking to theologian and author of “The Bible and the Ballot,” Tremper Longman, to learn how Christians can vote in a way that best reflects biblical values. First, Tremper tells us why he decided to write a book on politics in the first place. How much does he believe that Christians should participate in the political process? And how much should the Church participate? Does the Bible have something to contribute to contentious political issues like abortion, immigration, and race? What are loving, biblical responses to these topics? And should Christians push for laws around such issues? Plus, how much should Christians consider a political candidate's character over their policies? And learn why he says that Christians don't actually “need” religious liberty. Listen now! Have you benefitted personally from Truth Over Tribe or seen it have a positive effect on someone you know? have you used the podcast, book, or blog as a catalyst for conversation on polarizing topics?

Dr. John Walton is a distinguished Old Testament scholar with extensive expertise in the Book of Job, having published a comprehensive commentary in 2014 and co-authored "How to Read Job" with Tremper Longman. Walton's perspective on Job emphasizes the text as a thought experiment rather than a historical account, focusing on the profound dialogue between Job and God. He underscores the limitations of human understanding and the complexity of divine justice, which transcend the simplistic retribution principle. Through his teachings and lectures worldwide, Dr. Walton illuminates the nuanced perspectives within the narrative, including the unique stance of the character Elihu, thereby enriching the global discourse on faith, suffering, and divine justice. 00:03:23 Contemplating God's Wisdom in Job 00:08:24 Debate on Divine Justice in Job 00:11:39 Suffering and Faith in the Book 00:11:55 Faith and Commitment in Serving God 00:14:25 Trusting God's Wisdom in Suffering Journeys 00:20:52 Embracing God's Wisdom in Times of Suffering 00:36:19 Lessons in Standing Strong and Surrendering 00:45:52 Redeemer's Role in Job's Innocence Vindication 00:51:16 Elihu's Innovative Interpretation of Retribution About the Guest: John H.

What is wisdom? How can a person get wisdom? What books of the Bible are considered "Wisdom literature"? In this episode, Pastors Brandon and Zac discuss these questions and others.  For more information, see:  The Christ of Wisdom by O. Palmer Robinson  The Fear of the Lord is Wisdom by Tremper Longman   

The takeaways from this episode:Literary context is essential, but literary context without deep regard for historical and cultural context  can give you a false sense of understanding what a passage means when in reality you're not being a very good "tourist" of scripture.We cannot assume that our plain reading  of the text is the same as the original audiences' plain reading of the text. What a passage means for us when we take it at face value is probably not what it meant for them when they took it at face value. Genesis 1 is a temple text.We need to find scholars who are experts in historical/cultural context and we need to read what they're writing. Some of my favorites  for OT studies are are John Walton, Michael Heiser, Tremper Longman, Gordon Whenham, and Tim Mackie.For NT studies, my go-to scholars are NT Wright, Michael Bird, Craig Keener, Douglas Moo, Scot McKnight, Tom Schreiner The Lost World of Genesis One by John WaltonInstagram // Website // Shop

In this episode, a repost from a couple of years ago, Damein Schitter, Benjamin Kandt, and Nate Claiborne discuss how to read Genesis well.As we start a new reading plan at NewCity Orlando, we want to provide conversations from our leaders about reading Scripture well together.You can start our new reading plan by downloading the Read Scripture App.For more resources, we would recommend both Reading Genesis Well and Genesis 1-4: A Linguistic, Literary, and Theological Commentary both by C. John Collins. Likewise, Redeeming Science and Interpreting Eden both by Vern Poythress are useful for wrestling with issues related to the early chapters of Genesis.For reading the book of Genesis as a whole well, we would recommend the commentaries by Derek Kidner and Bruce Waltke. Also helpful are the commentaries by Tremper Longman and John Walton. However, readers may find some of their views on the early chapters at odds with traditional interpretations. 

I'd like to take an opportunity to interrupt this Scripture and Science class. We've just done three episodes on evolution. The first one covered the basics of what evolution is. Our second teaching evolution covered biblical problems and the third surveyed some scientific problems. Then Will interviewed Sam about his beliefs in both Christianity and evolution. I figured we'd just leave it there and move on to hear what Will had to say about geology. But after seeing various comments coming in, I decided it would be good to interject some of my own thoughts both defending my reasons for honestly engaging with evolution as well as my reasons for still not believing in it. My reasons: Lack of evidence for evolution Problem of first life Mutations as an inadequate mechanism Humans ill-adapted for survival Allegorical readings of Genesis are ad hoc Evolution undermines the Fall Listen to this episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts —— Links —— We are doing follow-up discussions to these episodes on YouTube.

I think it is fair to say that our contemporary culture is one marked by an identity crisis. We don't know who we are anymore. In our modern quest to know ourselves, we have become more anxious, confused, isolated and despairing. As members of God's family and the Christian faith, we are knit together in community. Like changing our clothes, we are called to put off our old self and put on our new self. We are not to live as we used to live because we are not who we used to be. We are a new family with a communal code of ethics tied to the relational outworkings of joyful Christian love. Paul points out three distinctives of our new family, the new us, the true us. We must be wise with our words, good at anger, and radically forgive others. These disciplines are not only about experiencing God's power to change, but more to deeply encounter his abiding presence with us moment by moment.Sermon Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/4896328822.10.09

     Psalm 46 is classified as one of the Psalms of Zion. The others include Psalm 48, 84, 87, and 122. These songs of Zion celebrate Jerusalem as the place where God dwells with His people (i.e., the city of God). Psalm 46 focuses on God as the refuge and strength of His people when they turn to Him in a time of distress. This psalm is very personal. God is declared to be “our refuge and strength” (Psa 46:1b), and “is with us” and “is our refuge” (Psa 46:7, 11). The theme is repeated throughout the psalms where the Lord is the source of His people's strength (Psa 29:11; 68:35), their refuge (Psa 14:6; 61:3; 62:7-8; 71:7; 73:28; 91:2; 142:5), and their stronghold (Psa 9:9; 18:2; 48:3; 59:9, 16-17). The wise seek Him because they are a people in need (Psa 22:19; 27:9; 40:13; 44:26; 63:7). Psalm 46 is constructed in three parts. For God's faithful people, He is their refuge and strength, even though the world around them is chaotic (Psa 46:1-3). God is among His faithful people and will protect them when the enemy invades (Psa 46:4-7). God calls His people to witness the defeat of the Gentile nations (Psa 46:8-11). This Psalm inspired Martin Luther to write his hymn, A Mighty Fortress is Our God. Occasion & Date      The historical background of the psalm is likely God's deliverance of His people, under the leadership of King Hezekiah, when the Assyrians besieged the city of Jerusalem in 701 BC (2 Ki 18:1—19:37; Isa 36:1—37:38). Psalm 46:1-3      The psalm opens with a superscription, which reads, “For the choir director. A Psalm of the sons of Korah, set to Alamoth. A Song” (Psa 46:1a). The sons of Korah are somewhat of a mystery. They are mentioned several times in the psalms (Psa 42:1; 44:1; 45:1; 46:1; 47:1; 48:1; 49:1; 84:1; 85:1; 87:1; 88:1), but not much is said about them. According to Allen Ross, “In the superscription there are a few introductory notes. It was for the sons of Korah, a Levitical group that performed the psalm at times.”[1] The term Alamoth (עַלְמָה) refers to a young girl of marriageable age. According to Peter Craigie, “Alamoth (lit. ‘maidens, young women') might be the name of the tune or musical setting to which the psalm was sung. More probably, it may indicate a high musical setting, or being sung by soprano voices.”[2]      It was a song of confidence in God, in which the people sang, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psa 46:1b). Here, the psalmist pictures God as a refuge (מַחֲסֶה machaseh), a place where His people can run for protection from the storms of life (cf., Isa 25:4). He also says that God is their strength (עֹז oz), which means He fortifies their souls in troubling times. Because God is omnipresent, He is always near to those who call upon Him and is a help (עֶזְרָה ezrah) in difficult times. Without God's help, His people would surely be destroyed when the storms of life arise. The word trouble (צָרָה tsarah) means one is experiencing “need, distress, anxiety.”[3] It speaks of the psychological disequilibrium one experiences when threatened by a rising force. The good news is that God is a strong refuge and help during times of calamity, and by faith, His people run to Him for shelter.      Turning to God in turbulent times produces confidence that stabilizes the stressed-out soul. The psalmist states, “Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains quake at its swelling pride. Selah” (Psa 46:2-3). Here, the psalmist pictures a worst-case scenario in which the earth, mountains, and sea change and behave in radically disruptive ways. Though ecological calamities are the natural reading of these verses (and certainly does not exclude them), the later mention of nations (vs 6) and wars (vs 9) tells us he is speaking metaphorically. According to Tremper Longman, “The psalmist utilizes the well-known images of mountains and waters to communicate the most formidable trouble possible. While mountains are images of security and permanence, the waters are forces of chaos. Thus, to envision the mountains being overwhelmed by the waters is a metaphor that points to the ultimate nightmare, or, as we might say today, ‘All hell is breaking loose!'”[4] Adversity in life is inevitable, but stress in the soul is optional, depending how God's people handle it. If God's people hold to the theology of the first verse, that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (Psa 46:1b), the benefit is that they will not fear when everything comes crashing down around them. It's natural that a believer's initial response be that of concern; however, if God's people can quickly adjust their thinking and align it with Him and His Word, it will produce stability in their souls. Psalm 46:4-7      Apart from the previous scenario of chaos, the psalmist provides a contrasting picture, saying, “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling places of the Most High” (Psa 46:4). The city of God is Jerusalem (Psa 48:1-2; 87:2-3). In the city of God, the water is pictured differently. Rather than being a chaotic force that threatens to destroy, it is pictured as a calm river that makes glad the souls of those near its gentle flow. For ancient Israel, the source of water was the Gihon spring that was underneath the city of Jerusalem, and it was harnessed to flow into pools such as that of Siloam (John 9:7). God's title of Most High (עֶלְיוֹן Elyon) pictures Him as the Ruler who is above all creation and able to protect those who turn to Him.      Furthermore, God's people do not need to search far for Him, for “God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns” (Psa 46:5). The Lord is always with His people, in their midst, and the benefit is that they will not be moved, though all the world around them slips and slides in every imaginable way. It was God, not the city or its walls, that gave His people stability (cf., Zeph 3:15). The phrase, “God will help her when morning dawns”, speaks of a time when the darkness of night—and the troubles associated with it—has passed and a new day dawns.      The psalmist speaks of the trouble they'd been facing, saying, “The nations made an uproar, the kingdoms tottered; He raised His voice, the earth melted” (Psa 46:6). The earlier language (Psa 46:3) of the seas roaring (הָמָה hamah) is here applied to the nations which make an uproar (הָמָה hamah). And the picture of the mountains which slip (מוֹט mot) into the sea (Psa 46:2) here describe the kingdoms of men which tottered (מוֹט mot). At the mere raising of God's voice, the nations, kingdoms, and the earth itself, all melt away when He speaks.      Then comes the first of two refrains. The psalmist states, “The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah” (Psa 46:7). Here we observe one of God's titles, the LORD of hosts (Yahweh Sabaoth) which literally means, the LORD of the armies. The picture is that of heaven's Master, who commands His armies of angels to do His will. Remember, it was God who sent His angel to rescue His people during the Assyrian siege, where it was recorded, “Then it happened that night that the angel of the LORD went out and struck 185,000 in the camp of the Assyrians; and when men rose early in the morning, behold, all of them were dead” (2 Ki 19:35). The refrain in Psalm 46:7 focuses attention on the Lord. God is with His people, and He is their stronghold. William VanGemeren states: "The great doctrine of the presence of God, even in the OT, affirms that the Great King has identified himself with his people; therefore they need not fear. God's people will never fall. They will always be assured of his readiness to help them (v. 5). The help of God “at break of day” (cf. Ex 14:27) suggests that in the darkness of distress the people of God know that the Lord will not let them suffer unduly long (cf. Psa 30:6–7; 90:14). His acts of unfailing love are renewed each morning (cf. Lam 3:22–23)."[5] Psalm 46:8-11      The psalmist calls for God's people to set their minds on the Lord, saying, “Come, behold the works of the LORD, Who has wrought desolations in the earth” (Psa 46:8). Operating from divine viewpoint allows God's people to see His work in the earth and in their lives. And what events is the psalmist describing? Specifically, that “He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two; He burns the chariots with fire” (Psa 46:9). That God makes wars to cease, not just in Israel, but “to the end of the earth”, connotes the Messianic age that will come when Jesus returns at His second coming (Rev 19:11-21), putting down rebellion and establishing His kingdom on earth (Rev 20:1-6), which kingdom will be global in nature (Isa 2:4). The reference to the bow and the spear is a synecdoche in which the parts are used to represent the whole (i.e., all the instruments of war). Furthermore, the chariots were the tanks of the ancient world and represented a nation's military force at its greatest. But these He burns with fire, destroying and rendering them useless.      God, who will bring all wars to an end, says, “Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth” (Psa 46:10). The word cease translates the Hebrew verb רָפָה raphah, which means to “let alone, do nothing, be quiet.”[6] And the form of the verb is causative (hiphil), which means those who are acting must relax their efforts. But to whom is the psalmist directing the command to cease? According to Allen Ross, the directive primarily speaks to the Gentile nations of the world, who are “exhorted to stop all their tumult and recognize that God is sovereign, and that only his authority and words matter.”[7] Derek Kidner agrees, saying, “the injunction Be still … is not in the first place comfort for the harassed but a rebuke to a restless and turbulent world.”[8] And Tremper Longman states, “In verse 10, the poet quotes God, who asserts his sovereignty not only over Israel, but over all the nations of the earth. He commands that their uproar be silenced and that they all recognize that he is God.”[9] Though God is speaking to the hostile Gentile nations of the world, which are under His sovereign control (Psa 135:6; Dan 2:21; 4:35), the song itself was to be sung by His people, which would instill confidence in God and courage toward the circumstances of life. They were, like all God's people, to live by faith (Heb 10:38; 11:6). The chief end of history will be to God's glory, for He will make it so. What He promises, He will bring to pass (Isa 46:9-11). His people need only watch and wait for the Lord to act as He promises.      The psalmist closes out his song with the repeated refrain, “The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our stronghold. Selah” (Psa 46:11). Here is a refrain to be heard over and over again, for it seats into the hearers consciousness the greatness of God who is with them. God is their stronghold in times of trouble, and by faith they trust Him and His promises and find rest for their souls. God will be exalted in all the earth. His Word declares it. The challenge for the hearers is to live by faith and not feelings, and to look to God more than to themselves or their circumstances. Conclusion      Psalm 46 is about trusting God despite any difficulties that may arise. Whether in natural disaster or national crisis, God is always a refuge and strength for His people, and in His presence and promises they find rest for their souls. Allen Ross states, “In this psalm the believers are strong, being filled with confidence in the presence of the living God. And today the more that believers focus on the power of God, the presence of God, and the promises of God, the more they will find comfort and confidence to deal with the tragedies and troubles of the world.”[10] Present Application      God continues to be a refuge and strength for His people during times of disaster or crisis. Though adversity is inevitable, the stress in our souls is optional. As God's people, our mental stability is largely predicated on the biblical content and continuity of our thinking. When we learn to take in God's Word on a regular basis, it creates a bank of theological information in our souls that we can draw upon when facing difficult times. But to benefit from God's promises, we must take our thoughts captive so that His Word flows in the stream of our consciousness without disruption (2 Cor 10:5). If we fail to live by faith, then our knowledge of God and His promises are merely academic, and we forfeit the confidence that can be ours in troubling times. Faith in God and His promises means no fear; at least none that rises to such a level as to overwhelm the soul and create psychological and emotional instability.      Biblically, we know God permits us to be tested by difficulties. It is His will that we be in this hostile world (John 17:15), that we learn His Word (2 Tim 2:15; 3:16-17; 1 Pet 2:2; 2 Pet 3:18), live by faith (2 Cor 5:7; Heb 10:38; 11:6), advance to spiritual maturity (1 Cor 14:20; Eph 4:11-13; Heb 6:1), and serve as lights to others (Eph 5:8-10). We also know the nations of the world are currently under Satan's control (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11), who operates by deception (Rev 12:9; 20:3, 8), that he might weaken them (Isa 14:12). And God permits this for a time. But a day is coming when the sovereign Lord of all the earth will silence the nations, quieting their hostilities, and will bring all wars to an end (Isa 2:4). At that time, our glorious King, the Lord Jesus, will execute His righteous reign on earth for a thousand years (Rev 20:4-6), and afterwards, will hand the kingdom over to the Father (1 Cor 15:24). As Christians living in this fallen world, we are to walk by faith, and are constantly “looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus” (Tit 2:13). Come Lord Jesus! We are ready for Your reign.       [1] Allen P.

Dr. Tremper Longman III, Emeritus Professor of Biblical Studies and Distinguished Scholar of Biblical Studies at Westmont College, has written more than 20 books, including Revelation Through Old Testament Eyes and Intimate Allies. He was one of the main translators for the New Living Translation and has served as a consultant on other popular translations of the Bible including the Message, the New Century Version, and the Holman Standard Bible. Tremper helps us reconsider the Hebrew wording of Genesis 2:18 usually translated as “a helper suitable to him” or “a help meet.”

Conversations that help us learn, live and love the way of Jesus.

Over the last few years, the New Living Translation has seen significant growth in popularity, even moving into the #2 spot for several months in a row. Still, some pastors are hesitant to use it as their main translation. Why is this translation gaining in popularity and what about the translation process and model can help pastors feel more confident in using it as their main translation? What is important for pastors to think about when choosing a translation? The post The Rise in Popularity of the New Living Translation: An Interview with Tremper Longman, III appeared first on Church Answers.

Science and Faith in Conflict?We live in an era where science and faith are widely believed to be in conflict. A spreading materialism asserts, even assumes, that only empirical knowledge is reliable, and denigrates ways of understanding reality beyond the quantitative. Others believe that the realms of science and religion are entirely separate — each with interesting things to say, but nothing to say to each other.Wonder Can Lead to WorshipIn this conversation, we offer a different hypothesis: that science and faith actually have things to say to each other and can enable us to better understand ourselves, our minds, our world, and its originator and designer.  In contemplating the complexity of our Cosmos, and the mystery of our self and soul, we may cultivate a new sense of wonder, awe, and even worship – a doxology amidst discovery.This conversation is a part of our Discovery and Doxology series, and hosted in partnership with Biologos and Church of the Advent and made possible through the support of Templeton Religion Trust. This series brings together leading scientists, philosophers, and theologians to discuss the relationship between science and faith.Learn more about Tremper Longman and Ard Louis. Authors and books mentioned in the conversation:Elaine Howard EcklundIsaac NewtonSir Robert BoyleJames Clerk MaxwellSimon Conway MorrisDavid AlcaldeDietrich BonhoefferCharles ColsonThe Language of God, by Francis CollinsDeborah HaarsmaJohn Paul II Related Trinity Forum Readings:Brave New World, Aldous HuxleyGod's Grandeur: The Poems of Gerard Manley HopkinsRelated Conversations:Understanding TranshumanismScience, Faith, & the Pursuit of Truth with Elaine Howard Ecklund and Ted DavisTo listen to this or any of our episodes in full, visit ttf.org/podcast and to join the Trinity Forum Society and help make content like this possible, visit ttf.org/join. Special thanks to Ned Bustard for the artwork and Andrew Peterson for the music.

(Mateo 20:15, NTV).Detrás de cada emoción -especialmente de las más oscuras- hay una pregunta acerca de Dios. Si pudiéramos raspar con una moneda la superficie de la envidia, ¿qué crees que descubriríamos? Según el psicólogo Dan Allender y el teólogo Tremper Longman, quienes escribieron The Cry of the Soul [El clamor del alma], la envidia "vocaliza la crucial pregunta: ¿es bueno Dios, satisfará mi hambre? ¿O bendecirá él a otros y me ¿Dejar a mí con las manos vacías?"Generalmente, no sentimos celos de aquellos con quienes no nos podemos comparar. Nadie siente envidia de la Reina Isabel II del Reino Unido, por mucho dinero que ella posea. Nadie tiene celos de la inteligencia de Einstein o de la belleza de Miss Universo (salvo las otras participantes del concurso). Para sentir celos, tiene que haber un elemento de conexion. Por eso, son justamente nuestras amigas y vecinas las que pueden provocarnos más envidia.Albergar envidia nos contamina de ingratitud, convierte a nuestras amigas en competidoras y al mundo en un campo de batalla. “En pocas palabras”, escribe Craig Groeschel en Soul Detox [Desintoxicación del alma], “la envidia es cuando te molesta la bondad de Dios en la vida de otras personas, e ignora su bondad en tu propia vida. Es cuando tú piensas: 'Ellos tienen algo que yo quiero. Algo que no merecen. No corresponde tenerlo'”. La envida surge de la comparación. La Biblia enseña que, en lugar de compararnos, debemos celebrar los éxitos de los demás (Rom. 12:15).David y Jonatán pueden ser excelentes amigos porque Jonatán estuvo dispuesto a celebrar los éxitos de David, a un gran costo personal y profesional (1 Sam. 23:17). Juan el Bautista ejerció la superioridad del ministerio de Cristo, aun cuando su propio ministerio decrecía (Juan 3:29, 30). Para celebrar los éxitos de otras mujeres, debemos reconocer la pregunta de la envidia: ¿Dios es bueno conmigo? ¡Claro que sí! Dios me ama incondicionalmente y para siempre. Arraigadas en la inmensidad de este amor inmerecido, podemos soltar la envidia y la comparación. Podemos aceptar la soberanía de Dios para bendecir a cada uno de acuerdo con su plan y festejar los éxitos de los demás.Señor, quiero dejar de compararme con otras mujeres. Arráigame profundamente en tu amor. Tú me bendices generosa e inmerecidamente. Creo, ayuda mi incredulidad.

That's right! Four fifths (about) of the Bible is the Old Testament. Joining Andrew and James on the podcast for this episode is Tremper Longman. Dr. Longman has spent his life (since his conversion as a young man) studying the Old Testament and has become an authority on it. An author of many books and articles, including widely-used textbooks on Old Testament studies used in colleges and seminaries, Tremper offers us a way to appreciate the Old Testament as anticipating Christ and as a way to appreciate the Old Testament as it was written to its original audience. Why the latter? Well even before the God-took-flesh, the Scriptures, as the Old Testament on its own terms and in its original setting, fully sufficed to their audience. Tune in for a great discussion on the importance of the Old Testament, its theological relevance for Christians, and (dare we say) its historical reliability.

Dan Allender and Tremper Longman say our emotions are the cries of our soul, asking to be heard by God. Prayer is the window from our depths to God. To be whole, we should connect these parts of ourselves to God. But that's hard! It's not always easy or natural for us to do it. Why? In this sermon, Pastor Joel uses the prophet Jeremiah to reflect on what it looks like for us to pray from our depths to God and examine ourselves for why we don't always do it as well as we might hope, as well as the reflecting on the hope of who God is when we look at Jesus, and the invitation that it gives us. 

Recent world events have raised with a new intensity the question of how to respond to unjust suffering. This conversation with Dr. Tremper Longman (Westmont College) on Job's complaints addresses that very issue, so we're re-releasing it this week.

Job was a man who lost his wealth, his property, his children...everything. Satan claimed to believe that people only behaved righteously to get the rewards. He argued that God protected the righteous, giving them good reason to continue to be righteous. If this was true, then faith would be meaningless. Faith in God would not be a matter of belief and trust but simply a matter of self-preservation. God allowed this proposed test of Job, by Satan. The resulting conversations between husband and wife, long-time friends and even God himself brings us a lesson that many of us still struggle to live out to this day. Join me as I dive into the book of Job and pull out some life lessons, we all need.

To give our church more context around the book of Ecclesiastes and why it is so important for today, Rob interviewed Dr. Tremper Longman III to get his take. Dr. Longman is one of the world's leading experts on the wisdom literature in the Old Testament, which includes Ecclesiastes. He got his doctorate in Near Eastern studies at Yale University before becoming a professor. He was a professor at Westmont College from 1998 until he retired in 2017. He continues to serve the college as a distinguished scholar of biblical studies. He is one of the main translators of the New Living Translation and has even consulted on other translations of the Bible including  the Message, the New Century Version, and the Holman Standard Bible. He has written or co-authored more than 20 books, two of which we are using as resources during our Ecclesiastes It's Time series. His book Breaking the Idols of Your Heart: How to Navigate the Temptations of Life which he wrote with Dr. Dan B. Allender has been particularly insightful and we recommend it as a resource for personal study as well. 

Jen is joined by two great guests to continue discussing the theme of our previous episode: reading and mental wellness. This time, her conversation partners look at this important topic through the lens of church history.Diana Gruver writes about spiritual formation and discipleship in the everyday. She is the author of Companions in the Darkness: Seven Saints Who Struggled with Depression and Doubt. Laura Fabrycky is an American writer, diplomatic spouse, and mother of three. Her book, Keys to Bonhoeffer's Haus, is a historically grounded memoir of her experience as a volunteer guide at the Bonhoeffer-Haus in Berlin. She was a guest on a previous episode, so you'll hopefully recognize her voice.Books Mentioned in this Episode:Companions in the Darkness: Seven Saints Who Struggled with Depression and Doubt by Diana GruverKeys to Bonhoeffer's Haus: Exploring the World and Wisdom of Dietrich Bonhoeffer by Laura FabryckyAcedia & Me: A Marriage, Monks, and a Writer's Life by Kathleen NorrisA First-Rate Madness: Uncovering the Links Between Leadership and Mental Illness by Nassir GhaemiThe Cry of the Soul: How Our Emotions Reveal Our Deepest Questions About God by Dan Allender, Tremper Longman, et al.Depression, Anxiety and the Christian Life: Practical Wisdom from Richard Baxter by Michael S.
