Bite Size Bible

It’s the end of the world as we know it…sort of. Laura Bentley and Faith Kemmler talk about what is going on with the strange and sometimes frightening imagery of apocalyptic literature. And why books like Revelation are about hope, not horror.

Description: Laura Bentley and Faith Kemmler discuss what it means to them to embrace wonder and mystery in faith and scripture.

This week, Laura Bentley welcomes special guest Jo Forrest, Westminster’s Senior Pastor. Jo helps us think about Scripture as alive with God’s Spirit, able to guide us to live in connection with our Creator, and a workout for our intellects. And she shares what she’s reading beyond the Bible.

Faith Kemmler and Laura Bentley discuss prophetic literature, whether or not the prophets could predict the future, and what prophecy may look like today.

Laura Bentley gives an overview of Wisdom literature in Scripture. And Faith Kemmler updates us on what she's learning in seminary.

While we call the Bible a book; it's more like a library. In this episode, Faith Kemmler walks through the Biblical canon, how it came to be, and what genres can be found in the Biblical library.

Our final installment of the creation stories that begin the Bible. Sin, the fall, an apple? None of it is in the text. What is going on in this story that has captured our imaginations for millennia?

Now that we've looked at both Creation Stories, let's zoom out and explore why there are two, why it matters, and how do we read both of them together?

Continue on our creation journey as we discuss the second creation story found in Genesis 2.

We're back! We're starting Season 2 at the beginning: Genesis. In this episode, we begin discussing the Creation Story in Genesis 1. This is the first of a multi-part series looking at creation in Genesis 1-3.
