Introduction to Philemon

Sunday Jan 22, 2023
For the next of our Bible book introductions, Paul and Laurence take a look at the smallest of Paul's letters, his letter to Philemon. After clearing up the centuries old debate about how to pronounce his name, they proceed to explore why a personal letter about fixing a very personal relationship should be included in the scriptures. They find that it is, in fact, an incredibly revealing case study into how being a Christian should change the way we view society and people around us.

”The child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God”

In keeping with the season, Paul and Dan consider the concept of "the Son of God". They consider examples of that phrase throughout the Bible, but concentrate on what it means for Jesus to be the only son of the Father. How can Jesus uniquely be called the Son of God? Does calling him the Son of God make him Deity in any sense? What is Jesus claiming when he says he is the Son of God? All these questions and more are considered - including which are Paul and Dan's favourite carols!

Introduction to Leviticus - can God dwell with humans?

Sunday Nov 27, 2022
We continue our introductions to the books of the Torah, the first five books of the Bible, with Paul and Laurence covering the book of Leviticus. This is maybe not the most appealing read, after all, what does how long you remain unclean if you touch a dead body, have to do with a Christian today? But as Paul and Laurence scratch the surface they find that the careful structure of this book points to something, or rather someone, who is so much greater than the law (no prizes for guessing who!)

How Jesus read the Old Testament

Dan introduces a new guest to the podcast, James Andrews, to consider the whole question of how we read the Old Testament in the light of Jesus. Do we even need to pay it any attention now that Jesus has come? They consider what it means for Jesus to fulfil the Old Testament and find that, when Jesus reads and applies the different parts of the Hebrew Bible, he shows us how to bring it to life in our lives as Christians today.
