    02: Exodus

    Discover the Book of Exodus with Dr. Cameron Howard, Associate Professor of Old Testament at Luther Seminary. In this episode of The Bible in a Year, we explore one of the most foundational stories in Scripture—from slavery in Egypt to liberation at the Red Sea, and from the giving of the Ten Commandments to the building of the Tabernacle. Cameron guides us through this epic narrative, revealing why God, not Moses, is the true main character of Exodus and how this ancient story of freedom continues to inspire liberation movements today. Beyond the dramatic escape from Egypt, Exodus offers profound wisdom for modern life. Cameron highlights how the biblical value of Sabbath rest challenges our culture's obsession with productivity and the "hustle." Whether you're familiar with Exodus from movies like The Ten Commandments and The Prince of Egypt or discovering it for the first time, this conversation will deepen your understanding of why this book matters for both Jewish and Christian faith—and how its themes of liberation, law, and rest speak powerfully to our lives today.

    01: Genesis

    Join us for an in-depth exploration into the Book of Genesis with guest, Dr. Kathryn Schifferdecker, Old Testament professor at Luther Seminary, as we explore the first book of the Bible. This comprehensive Genesis Bible study covers everything from the creation story and primeval history (chapters 1-11) to the stories of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph (chapters 12-50). You'll discover the major themes of Genesis including creation, sin, covenant, promise, and faith. Dr. Schifferdecker explains why Genesis isn't a science textbook but rather a profound theological text that reveals God as creator of the cosmos and establishes the foundation for understanding God's relationship with humanity. Learn about the dysfunctional family dynamics, the meaning behind Jacob wrestling with God, and how these ancient stories speak to our lives today. Whether you're new to studying the Bible or looking to deepen your understanding, this Genesis Bible study provides valuable insights into the stories, themes, and theological significance of Genesis for Christian life and faith. This episode is part of The Bible in a Year from Luther Seminary podcast, where we journey through each book of the Bible over 52 weeks.
