Part of the fun of Bible Jazz is the organic conversation that happens when we gather in the "Gray Room 2" studio. Welp...that ain't happening for the time being because of the COVID-19 pandemic. BUT--we're still going to get some content to you! For now, we're uploading audio from the week's teaching (including some great interviews!) while we're working on doing some remote interviews in the coming weeks. THANK YOU for sticking with Bible Jazz, as our greatest hope is to continue to engage a wide audience in matters of life and faith.

Northern Ireland. For many people around the world, it is a country whose history conjures images of civil unrest and militia-style warfare. Mike lived in Belfast in 2000-01 and has remained friends with several people there, including Beth McGardle. As we explore the idea of Jesus having a "bigger table" for people, Beth brings wise insight about the healing message of the Gospel in a divided country like N. Ireland. It's insight that any country struggling with division needs to hear.

We finally get our good friend and pastor Harlan Shoop on the show! We're talking about how to read "epistles," otherwise known as letters, in the New Testament. A lot of damage has been done by irresponsible interpretation, and this is one example. Let's see if we can avoid letting Paul's letter get lost in translation.

Faux fur. Robot aliens. And some of our favorite stories!

It's story time in this series as Aaron brings us one of Jesus' parables. What's up with the vineyard? What do you think about how the landowner treats the latecomers?

Also, we discuss a great question from a listener!

Would you rather ride a donkey or a giraffe?
Would you rather be baptized in a river or a tub?
This week we're looking at narrative again, from the New Testament -- Luke's narratives about baptism in the book of Acts. What parts were "there and then," and what aspects are for "here and now?"

Can you smell the hush puppies? What is the Hebrew for "baldy"? What do female bears have to do with it? Experience the epitome of improvised conversation! (And don't forget to listen to the Easter egg at the end of the episode).

We'll take a look at the difference between "narrative" and "normative" as we read the Hebrew scriptures (also known as the Old Testament) -- what elements of God's Word before Jesus simply tells us what happened in the past, and what elements tell us what should always be happening? Jesus himself interprets the scripture of his ancestors, and our interpretation relies on him.

Popcorn in kids' ears! A dog named Dandy! A cat named Hermeneutics! And of course, an honest look at the presuppositions we bring to the Bible, how it affects our perception and reception, and what it means for becoming more mature readers of the most prolific book in history.
