A Psychology Major's Take on The Bible

David Hardin

In this podcast, we'll go over a wide variety of stories throughout the Bible and think about them through the lenses of psychology and literary analysis. We'll also talk to Christians and Atheists about their journeys toward belief and disbelief in the Christian faith. I hope to learn as I go and provide you all with a different way of thinking about Christianity!

    Genesis 1 - Perception and Reality

    In this episode, we go over what is the most well-known story in the Bible--the Genesis account of creation. We'll go over John Vervaeke's "4 P's of Knowing" and Jordan Peterson's conception of God as an Ideal, and read the first chapter of Genesis using those lenses. Enjoy! I highly encourage you to check out these resources: 4 P's of Knowing https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/theory-knowledge/202101/john-vervaeke-s-brilliant-4p3r-metatheory-cognition#:~:text=With%20his%204P%20model%2C%20he,procedural%3B%20and%204)%20propositional.&text=Procedural%20knowing%20means%20knowing%20how%20to%20do%20something.
