  • What did the ancient Israelite think about the origin of evil and sin? What did the first temple Jew think about the origin of evil and sin? What about the rabbis? Let's check out the literature, and track this topic so that we can better understand the Reformation's understanding of Genesis 6:1-4.

  • A review of Heath Henning's book, The Unbiblical Realm: Refuting the Divine Council of Michael Heiser's Deuteronomy 32 Worldview. Spoiler alert: I give this book negative stars.

    Henning can't even present Dr. Heiser's understanding of the word elohim correctly, which is one of the most basic things that one must get "right" in order to understand much of what Dr. Heiser teaches. (Note: If you want to critique someone, you need to get what they say correct. Otherwise, don't bother.)

  • Continuing the conversation about singleness--this time with Mike Chu. What does the message of singleness as eschatological tell us about marriage and childlessness and how to value and interact within our relationships? A fantastic conversation that opens the doors to listening to one another and seeing how we reflect Jesus in our midst.

  • Is singleness what we all have to look forward to in the eschaton? Reviewing Danielle Treweek's book, The Meaning of Singleness: Retrieving an Eschatological Vision for the Contemporary Church. The church has traditionally seen singleness to be THE "eschatological" view, but more recent history has flipped this on its head and now marriage is often elevated in ways that are potentially problematic. Perhaps there's a third way of seeing the eschaton's imagery rather than a battle between singleness OR marriage.

  • Marriage according the Bible: Continuity between the Old Testament to the New Testament to the church to today. Are we actually "thinking biblically"? Do our ideas about sex and marriage reflect what the Bible says? Inheritance, virginity, the divine council worldview, and the idea that Jesus expanded the Torah.

Are the sacraments "just" symbolic? Two connected questions that with the message of the gospel can help us address our discomforts with our bodies.

  • How do we understand gender identity from a biblical perspective?

    Focusing on the topic of gender and how it came to be today, I discuss the book the Genesis of Gender by Abigail Favale. She explains the "gender paradigm" and encourages us to see a "Genesis paradigm" in relation to how we see ourselves and our bodies.

  • Seeing the cosmos as an interconnected whole does not come naturally to us today. This is a source of many of our struggles with understanding the divine council worldview, the image of God, and the deep meaning of ritual. A discussion on science, its nature and uses, and kicking some ideas around to stir up our minds to get that ancient context in our heads as we read Scripture. The raqia, thresholds, boundaries, and carrying our biblical imaginations from today into yesterday.
