The Bible has some extraordinary things to say about Christian community and the body of Christ. What we think about church should have a major impact on the way we think and live.  We take a look at the language behind English translations of church, connections to the Old Testament that get lost in translation, and the politically loaded history of its translation. Lastly, we consider the question, “Is church a good translation?”Resources Referenced:  <a href="https://youtu.be/QciYU3eCe5M?si=Bs2CPFH1w83c18sG">Septuagint Word Search</a> by Reparadigmed Podcast, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Christian-Nation-Political-Destroying/dp/0310267315">The Myth of a Christian Nation</a> & <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Myth-Christian-Religion-Losing-Revolution-ebook/dp/B002AKPFYO">The Myth of a Christian Religion</a> by Greg BoydInterlude Music: <a href="https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/OiHw16ODbX/">The Light From Within</a> by Howard Harper-BarnesTheme Song: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TT9z3AMHr-A">Believe</a> by <a href="https://linktr.ee/posthumorous">Posthumorous</a>Connect with Us: <a href="https://www.reparadigmed.com/">Website</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@reparadigmed">Youtube</a> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reparadigmed/">Instagram</a>

Church (Ekklesia) - Wordsmatter Series

We think Jesus of Nazareth is the king of the land and of humanity. We also think the Bible is a gift from God that gives us wisdom for being human. We aim to “reparadigm” our modern theological and ethical systems to conform to originalist readings of the Bible that honor its ancient Jewish context. Because the Bible is patently NOT a rulebook of universal moral principles but is rather an anthology recounting the grand narrative of human restoration, we think that its wisdom, though antiquated, has binding significance for our present contexts. American Evangelical theology often finds itself adrift from the Bible's ancient contextual moorings, and the bad fruit of modern, western readings continues to become evident in the church and in culture. Evidence of this bad fruit includes all forms of nationalism, exploitative economic and social systems, and consumeristic disregard for God's good creation. This sad commentary has led, not surprisingly, to a widespread rethinking of Christianity in America, manifesting in individuals as "deconstruction." We empathize with those who have deconstructed, and we seek to offer a way in the faith that is not based on Western nationalism or Eurocentrism, brazen political interests, or simplistic epistemic paradigms. We are convinced that as bad as Christianity in the West has often been, the proverbial baby need not be thrown out with the bathwater. We are excited to showcase how a more ancient understanding of the Jesus-faith is not only still relevant but it also offers the healing power our societies desperately need today.For more , check out <a href="https://www.reparadigmed.com/">Reparadigmed.com</a>
