  • Some claim that there are variations in the manuscripts that our English Bibles are translated from, and therefore this proves the Bible is false. Others say that the King James Version is the only true Bible. How should we think about these issues? What is a proper understanding of textual variants, and is the KJV a good translation? David Bercot presents a framework for how to think about these issues, and explores the history of some of the texts that English Bible translations are based on.

    The reference mentioned that is translated with word or work - Romans 9:28.

  • Janelle Glick is interested in how churches that are trauma-informed can better extend the grace and light of Jesus for people joining us from any place in their lives, especially those who have experienced difficult circumstances. Janelle casts a vision for churches that are educated in understanding how past trauma can present itself in human interactions in a variety of settings and that find space inside our current structures and our systems of beliefs for more compassion and learning and less self-sufficiency.

  • Initially, the early Christians refused to fight. Over time, they adopted a Just War stance, and in time used this to justify the forcible conversion of conquered peoples. With the Crusades, Just War was expanded to include what was called “Holy War,” and Christendom went to war in the Middle East with the Islamic empires. Stephen Russell outlines these critical pieces of the church’s history and explains how the church modified the Islamic concept of jihad to justify attacking their enemies. Russell shows how this was a seismic shift away from the teachings of the New Testament and what the early church had practiced.
