This relates directly to his citing of Isaiah 6 in regard to those who hear the message but do not really hear. Jesus clearly has a mission or goal that cannot be achieved if his identity is revealed throughout the nation.

As the story of John and Jesus begin, the backdrop of Roman occupation looms heavily and Luke suggests that the lowly, humble beginnings of Jesus imply his rise to a place of prominence with those who are in power coming to a dramatic decline.

Though misunderstood to be a harsh and vindictive king, Joseph acts kindly and mercifully to his guilty brothers and leads them ultimately to a land of blessing, not unlike the initial promise to Abraham. Is Joseph the fulfillment of the Abrahamic promise in the previous episodes? Or is there still someone to come?

Family stress continues as the Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar love triangle worsens. Ishmael, the illegitimate son of Abrahams competes with Isaac, but he and his mother Hagar are eventually sent away. God then calls Abraham to sacrifice his son in an ultimate test of faithfulness. This leaves us wondering, "What does covenant have to do with sacrifice?" and "How does this relate to God's promise to Abraham that he will be a blessing to the world?"

Since Sarah is unable to have children of her own, she forces her servant into pregnancy in her stead. God convinces Abraham that he is faithful by instituting the covenant of circumcision, that God indeed will come through with his promise of blessing. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is a strange and disturbing story including several points of role reversal and ending in judgment. It also provides an origin story for the...2019-05-2048 minThe Word of PodGenesis 12-15: The Call of AbramAt the end of Shem's line, is Abram, a Mesopotamian man who is called by God to leave his people to start his own descendants who will receive the promises of God. Perhaps, the most pivotal moments in the Old Testament, Abram is promised to be blessed in order that he will be a blessing to the world. It is through this blessing that God's plan for humanity will take place. Abraham believes God, and God declares him righteous on top of the blessing that will come in the future. With the promises of blessing also come a prophecy...2019-05-0349 minThe Word of PodGenesis 10-11: The Table of Nations and Tower of BabelThe Table of Nations is an important part of Genesis for various reasons. Not only does it explain the lineage from each of Noah's three sons, but it gives a theological backdrop and history from a later perspective (post-exilic author) looking back. As the specific lines of families are played out, it anticipates what is known by the author: the line of Shem, specifically Abram and his dependents, will clash with the line of Ham (Egypt, Mesopotamia, etc). This, ultimately, serves as a set up for Abram and what his role in the story will be. Needless to say...2019-04-2648 minThe Word of PodGenesis 5-9: The Great Flood and the Covenant with NoahAs the population of the earth grew, so did corruption and violence. It reached levels to the point God regretted creating his "good" creation and decides to intervene. Yet, in the midst of this judgment, God chooses to save humanity through one person. Noah, and his family, are preserved in an "ark" as the rest of the world drowns, losing their "breath of life". As all "flesh" is destroyed, God makes a covenant with humanity promising to never destroy the entire planet again through water. But, if nothing is changed in humanity, won't the world always return to corruption a...2019-04-1455 minThe Word of PodGenesis 4: Cain, Abel, and the Decline of HumanityThe effects of leaving the Garden of Eden and the Tree of Life are continually revealed. The author also clearly includes later Jewish beliefs and cultic practices into the story, building upon Sabbath with sacrifice, barrenness, desert-wandering and now, sin. The story continues as God explains that sin is active, seeking to destroy humanity. There is still the question of authority, and who the characters will follow, either God or the serpent. The original man and woman, are barren, unable to have children, as Cain's descendants fill the earth with their murderous line. We are heading for a climax...2019-04-0142 minThe Word of PodGenesis 3: The Relinquishing of Authority, Fellowship, and AccessGenesis 3 is often referred to "The Fall" which is really a bad description. Rather, it is more of a jump. Humanity was given a specific role and title, as caretakers of a specific garden, Eden, that they never intended to leave. By accepting the idea that, perhaps, God had withheld something from them, they relinquished their authority and privelege in the Garden, thus creating effects that they did not know could exist. Their knowledge of good and evil, and ultimately their disobedience, severed intimate relations with God, and between themselves. This episode will go into more detail about why...2019-03-2235 minThe Word of PodGenesis 1-2: The Creation AccountThe Bible begins with a strange and progressive creation account, ultimately leading to humanity. People are to rule over creation as representatives or ambassadors of God. Something about God's image or nature is bestowed upon human beings, specifically in their role to manage creation with their God-given authority. Their presence in the garden is almost priestlike, with God "resting" or residing in their presence in a space that reflects the goodness of God through his creation and the provision therein for humans and animals.. Though Genesis 1 and 2 have some overlap, they are not to be taken chronologically, but rather...2019-03-1946 minThe Word of PodA Background of the Bible: Text, Chronology, and Comparative LiteratureIn order to begin a thoughtful study of the Bible, it is essential to answer several issues pertaining to the question “What is the Bible?” In this episode, some important areas of discussion will be textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament), chronology, archaeology, and comparative literature (literature from other cultures at the time of the Bible’s events). To some extent, not all of these issues are necessary to understand the Bible as a text, but so many issues of debate are caused by a misunderstanding of what the Bible is as a text.
