The Bible Schooled Podcast

The Trinity is not only an essential doctrine of our Christian faith, it’s also one of the most beautiful. Join Ian as he surveys the Old Testament for trinitarian concepts, and looks at the doctrine as articulated in the Athanasian Creed.

Join Ian as he welcomes the very first guest on the Bible Schooled Podcast, Kara Morris, and talks about the importance of consistently engaging with the scriptures.

Over the past few months America has been going through a cultural moment centered around issues of injustice. A popular passage of scripture during this time has been Amos 5:21-24. In this episode we look at the prophetic significance of river imagery and what the Bible really means when it says "let justice roll down like waters.”

In this episode we explore the origins of baptism as we see it in the New Testament church, and how the theology behind this well known ritual got developed over time.

In this episode we take a look at the King of Kings, someone the Bible calls "messiah" - Cyrus the Great! The Bible portrays the Persian ruler as a type of Christ, and we work out some of the theological implications of Jesus being the fulfillment of that type.

In this episode Ian discusses the Bible’s literary contexts, and explores some big theological ideas in the book about the prophet swallowed by a big fish.

In this episode we walk in the footsteps of Lewis and Tolkien, and reclaim myth as part of our Christian worldview.

If you’ve ever wondered what God has to say about injustice and systemic corruption, look no further than the book of Isaiah. The prophet reckons with what happens when a nation’s wickedness goes unchecked, and informs us what the people of God’s response to the issues should be.

In this episode Ian looks at how we should and how we shouldn’t interpret the story of the woman caught in adultery in John 8.

This episode continues to explore how the NT handles the OT Scriptures in light of Jesus.
