Our goal is to explore the narratives of the Bible in light of their cultural and literary context. As we study the Bible, we want to get inside the mind of the author(s) to understand the intended meaning of scripture and how scripture informs our hope in Jesus.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 59: Is There a Rapture? With Matthew Halsted
Q: What does 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17 say about the rapture?
Halsted points out that while it mentions being caught up in the clouds, it doesn't explicitly state that believers will go to heaven, emphasizing the need for additional context to understand this passage accurately.
Ep 59: Is There a Rapture? With Matthew Halsted
Q: How do you explain Revelation 3:10-11 in relation to the rapture?
Halsted argues that the promise is specific to the local Philadelphian church for preservation during a moment of trial, not an indication of a rapture for future generations.
Ep 59: Is There a Rapture? With Matthew Halsted
Q: How would you define the rapture?
Matthew Halsted explains that the rapture is typically understood in popular Christian theology as an imminent event where Jesus will return partway into the clouds to take believers away to heaven before a period of tribulation.
Ep 82: Intro to Exodus with Carmen Imes
Q: What does it mean for the Israelites to bear God's name?
Bearing God's name means representing Yahweh well, as the Israelites are called to be a holy nation and bear his reputation among the nations.
Ep 56: A Conversation with Jeffrey Niehaus - Ancient Near Eastern Themes in Biblical Theology
Q: What is the significance of the plural form in Genesis 1:26, where God says 'Let us make man in our image'?
The plural suggests a divine deliberation, possibly hinting at the Trinity and establishing the foundational concept of humanity made in God's image.
