On this special edition of the podcast we talk with Dr. Cameron Howard, Associate Professor of Old Testament at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, about her latest book, The Old Testament for a Complex World: How the Bible’s Dynamic Testimony Points to New Life for the Church. We talk about biblical interpretation as being less like digging for buried treasure and more like an atomic reaction that generates new energy when text and interpreter come together. We discuss the multiple authors of the Hebrew Bible and the way they represent not a unified voice that speaks to us in absolutes but a diverse set of witnesses that invites us into a conversation about God and the life of faith. And we discuss the ways in which the Bible remixes ancient Near Easter traditions and how that might be a model for creating our own theological remixes today.
