Exploring the Language of Scripture

In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, Daniel Mikkelsen welcomes back Seth Postell—a Messianic Jew, Academic Dean at Israel College of the Bible, and biblical scholar—for a deeper exploration of how the Torah’s eschatology points forward to the Messiah. Building on their earlier conversation, they dive into the Torah’s structure, Israel’s story of exile and restoration, and how both the prophets and the New Testament read Moses with messianic expectation.

Together, they uncover how key passages—such as Zechariah 12, Isaiah 53, and the Torah’s prophetic poems—reveal that the hope of a Redeemer is embedded in the very fabric of Torah and all of Scripture from the beginning. Whether you’re passionate about biblical theology, fascinated by the continuity of Old and New Testaments, or seeking to see Jesus more clearly through the Law of Moses, this episode offers compelling insights into the unfolding story of God's redemption.

In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, Daniel Mikkelsen sits down with Paul Wilson—PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh and associate lecturer at the Scottish Baptist College—to explore how the Book of Acts comes alive when viewed through the lens of migration. As both a migrant himself and a scholar of ancient texts, Paul brings a unique perspective to the question: Was the early church a migrant church?

Together, Daniel and Paul unpack how forced movement, resettlement, and mobility shaped the growth of the early Christian movement. Through detailed examples from the Greek text—like the meaning of “strict” in Paul’s self-description as a Pharisee, or Luke’s unusual vocabulary for belts and aprons—they reveal how biblical languages expose nuances that challenge modern assumptions. From scattered believers to multicultural churches, they explore how Acts presents a church on the move, shaped by migration and mission.

Whether you’re passionate about biblical Greek, interested in the early church, or simply want to see the Book of Acts through fresh eyes, this conversation offers rich insight into the theological and missional power of movement in Scripture.

In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, Daniel Mikkelsen sits down with Seth Postell—a dedicated scholar, Academic Dean at Israel College of the Bible, and Messianic Jew—to explore how a careful reading of the Torah and the Hebrew Bible transforms our understanding of the Law of Moses and its role in God's plan of salvation through the Messiah. Through a deep dive into biblical languages, Seth shows how nuances in the Hebrew text—from the debate over Psalm 2:12 to the controversial passage in Isaiah 7:14—reveal layers of meaning that many modern translations overlook.

Together, they unpack how the Torah’s structure—its interplay of blessings and curses, narrative arcs, and prophetic poetry—not only tells the ancient story of Moses and Israel but also points forward to the Messiah. Whether you’re a student of biblical languages, a theology enthusiast, or someone seeking to see Scripture in a new light, this conversation offers compelling insights into the life-changing power of understanding God’s Word in its original language.

In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, Daniel Mikkelsen sits down with Denis Salgado—a research fellow at the Center for the Study of NT Manuscripts—to delve into the intricate world of Bible translation, common fallacies, and the overlooked realm of Greek lectionaries. Denis shares his journey from theology to textual criticism and reveals how a deep understanding of Greek exposes translation pitfalls (for example, why the Greek word beloved can never refer to the Church in Ephesians 1:6). He also uncovers the vital role of lectionaries in shaping centuries of Bible reading tradition.

With over 42% of our Greek New Testament manuscripts being lectionaries, this sheds light on a strong tradition that has been overlooked in textual criticism for more than a century—one that offers fresh insights into how ancient reading plans continue to influence believers today.

Whether you’re a student of biblical languages, a theology enthusiast, or simply curious about how Scripture is transmitted across the ages, this episode provides a thought-provoking look at:
 • How biblical languages enrich our interpretation of Scripture
 • The fallacies that arise from translation issues
 • The pivotal impact of Greek lectionaries on Christian worship

In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, Daniel Mikkelsen sits down with Paulus de Jong to explore how John’s Gospel reimagines the creation narrative and introduces the theme of new creation. Together, they reveal how Jesus’ ministry—through his healing miracles, the crown of thorns that echoes Genesis’ account of disobedience, and his portrayal as the new tabernacle—illustrates the restoration of a broken creation.

They discuss how the Greek language deepens our understanding of Scripture and uncover rich parallels between Genesis, Exodus, and the passion narrative. From the dramatic healing of a man who had been unable to walk for decades to the striking symbolism of the crown of thorns (akanta), every element points to the transformative power of Jesus’ mission. Whether you’re a student of biblical languages, a theology enthusiast, or seeking practical ways to experience restoration in your life, this conversation offers fresh insights into what it means to live as a new creation in Christ.
