In Episode 3, we introduce the Septuagint—the ancient collection of Greek translations of the Old Testament—and explore how it developed over time and why it sometimes differs from the Hebrew (Masoretic) Text. We then examine how the New Testament writers frequently drew from the Greek translation and why the Septuagint is so important for understanding the early church. Rather than replacing the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint gives us a unique window into how the earliest Christians encountered, interpreted, and proclaimed Israel’s Scriptures.

In this episode, Gavin and Jason trace the journey of the Bible from divine revelation to written Scripture, through centuries of transmission, and into the translations we read today. We discuss inspiration, manuscripts, textual criticism, and translation philosophy to explain how the biblical text has been preserved and why different English versions sometimes read differently. Along the way, we show how careful scholarship can deepen—not weaken—our confidence in the reliability and authority of Scripture.

In our premiere episode, Gavin and Jason ask whether Christians can trust biblical scholarship without compromising their faith. We examine legitimate concerns about the assumptions and worldviews that can shape academic conclusions, while also highlighting the essential role scholarship plays in Bible translation, interpretation, historical context, and serious study. Rather than choosing between faith and learning, we offer a path toward thoughtful, discerning engagement that strengthens confidence in Scripture.
