The Flood may be over, but the story is far from finished. Genesis 9 marks a pivotal moment in the biblical narrative, as Noah steps into a renewed world and God establishes a covenant that will shape the rest of Scripture.

The flood narrative is one of the most familiar stories in the Bible, yet Genesis invites us to see far more than a children's tale. Beneath the surface are questions about God's justice, mercy, human nature, and his purposes for the world.

  • Interesting and enjoyable

    Thank you Tyndale, I am really enjoying your podcast. I am a committed Christian with an academic background, but not a theologian. Podcast is accessible and gives new angles on scripture without undermining it. Always good to hear from scholars who have a personal faith. Keep up the good work.

  • Rich and helpful

    As a pastor who loves to study, I found this episode especially helpful, since this spoke into the privileges of being able to dive deeply into God’s word, but also the particular sinful tendencies that a Christian academic, theologian or, by implication, studying pastor, may be exposed to. I was blessed by the two Bible passages that were opened up in this episode. I hope many others are similarly blessed.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Meet the Scholar: Rebecca Idestrom
Q: How does the book treat the relationship between glory and God's character?
The book argues that the glory of God is inseparable from His character—compassion, mercy, and faithfulness—so Moses' request becomes a window into understanding God's identity as much as His presence.
Meet the Scholar: Rebecca Idestrom
Q: What inspired you to write Show Me Your Glory?
Her teaching focus on Isaiah, Ezekiel, Psalms, and the Pentateuch revealed the prominence of glory in those texts and how its meaning expands beyond mere presence to include God's character, mercy, and providence.
Faith, research, and the reliability of Scripture: Interview with Wes Huff
Q: What advice do you have for people thinking about beginning out on a path of learning more about apologetics or biblical scholarship?

Faith, research, and the reliability of Scripture: Interview with Wes Huff
Q: Imagine you had several lifetimes, what else might you want to be learning about?

Faith, research, and the reliability of Scripture: Interview with Wes Huff
Q: I'd love to dig down a little bit on your PhD. So why don't we start with a sort of really broad level overview of what it's about?
Wes studies ancient Christian scribal culture, emphasizing the importance of manuscripts in shaping early Christianity.
