Is the idea of the resurrection found in the Old Testament? Some say, no. Some say, yes. Is it found in the New Testament? Absolutely, it's central to the message! But do those mysterious, wonderful desert scrolls have anything to say on the subject?

Dr. Oliver Hersey joins David Capes for this episode of "The Stone Chapel Podcast." He became president of Jerusalem University College, and now they are going through a war that began in October 2023. The college is located on Mount Zion right outside the Jerusalem city gates.

Still, miracles abound, and they are ready for the next, peaceful chapter.

One theme in the New Testament that has not been studied: mothers and motherhood. That is until now. Dr. Jennifer Houston McNeel, a New Testament professor at the St. Mary's Ecumenical Institute in Baltimore, MD, has now written that book—"Under Her Wings: Mother and Motherhood in the New Testament." She joins David Capes on "The Stone Chapel Podcast" to discuss how themes of mother and motherhood shape the story of the Gospels, but also leaders like Jesus, Paul, and John. These men talk freely about themselves as church leaders not only in fatherly tones but also in motherly as well. And they extend those qualities to God himself. It's an important book for pastors, church leaders, and scholars alike.

Indigenous leader, Terry Wildman, is back on "The Stone Chapel Podcast." This time he and David Capes discuss the newest release of the "First Nations Version, Psalms and Proverbs." On this episode, Darlene Wildman, Terry's wife, plays a native flute. Her music brings out the beauty and dignity to reading Holy Scripture.

You would figure that someone who was Provost at the University of Notre Dame and President of Wake Forest University would know how to recruit the best leaders for the schools. And you'd be correct. Dr. Nathan Hatch held both of those jobs for 25 years, and he learned how to recruit the best team around him. You can learn that too, but you have to be smart and secure. Read all about it in his book, "The Gift of Transformative Leaders, Cambridge Element Series" (Cambridge University Press). He joins David Capes on "The Stone Chapel Podcast" to talk about it.

Gary Burge had a difficult job. This NT professor wrote the volume on Galatians and Ephesians for the "Through Old Testament Eyes" series with Kregel Academic. It was published earlier this year. He stops by to talk with David Capes about his project and that he discovered along the way, how different the two books are. So he wonders: did Paul's theology change from his first book to his last? Not only is Paul's context different in that roughly 14-15 year period but Paul himself may have changed.
