The Bible You Thought You Knew

My name is Frank Spina and during my 46 years as a professor of Old Testament and Biblical Theology, I noticed that most people only know interpretations of the Bible, rather than the scripture itself. In this podcast, I will be your teacher and guide through the Bible that not many people are familiar with. As we unpack quintessential Biblical stories, you will gain an unparalleled understanding of the scripture and discover a new way to think about the bible you thought you knew.

    Abraham and Sarah in Egypt” (Genesis 12)

    In this episode, Abraham and Sarah have to go to Egypt because Canaan has been afflicted by a famine.  When they get there, Abraham urges Sarah to tell everyone that she is his sister rather than his wife.  He was worried that the Egyptians would kill him to get to her.  Sure enough, Sarah was whisked off to Pharaoh’s house.  At that point, the Lord afflicted Egypt with plagues.  An irate Pharaoh demands that Abraham take his wife and leave immediately.  In the meantime, Abraham is greatly enriched because of all the presents that the Egyptians had given him.

    Abraham and Melchizedek” (Pt. 2)

    In this podcast, I treat the treatment of Melchizedek according to the Epistle to the Hebrews.  In that letter, he has an outsized role.  He is not just any high priest.  He is a high priest that is not related to any other Israelite priest.  Because he has no genealogy, he is taken to be an eternal priest.  Christ is the high priest who embodies Melchizedek’s role.

    Abraham and Melchizedek” (Gen. 14). This is Pt. 1.

    This is an odd story in the Abraham cycle.  It involves a huge coalition of rival kings who go to war against each other.  In the process, Lot, Abraham’s nephew, gets captured, along with the rest of his family and considerable property.  Abraham feels compelled to rescue his nephew.  This he does.  On his way home, though, he is met by the king of Sodom and the king of Salem, who is named Melchizedek.  Melchizedek blesses Abraham using the name of his Canaanite deity.  Abraham combines the name of this deity with the name of the Israelite God (YHWH).  The only other place where Melchizedek appears in the Old Testament is Psalm 110.

    Jesus and the Feast of Tabernacles, Pt. 4

    In this final episode, Jesus continues his debate with Jews who were considering was Jesus was saying.  The more outrageous (from a Jewish perspective) Jesus was in the claims he made about himself, the more heated the debate became.  Jesus demonized the Jews.  The Jews returned the favor.  The episode concluded when the Jews thought Jesus had been heretical and blasphemous, and therefore picked up stones to throw at him.  Somehow, Jesus hid and got out of the temple unscathed.

    Jesus and the Feast of Tabernacles pt 3

    This material is based on John 7-9.  In this episode, right after Jesus deals with the woman caught in the act of adultery he begins teaching in the temple.  A handful of Jews start believing in Jesus.  But that did not mean that they understood him.  They are confused about Jesus says about who sent him, where he soon will be going, why no one will be able to find him, etc.  Typical of this Gospel, much of what Jesus says is cryptic.

    Jesus and the Feast of Tabernacles, pt 2

    In this episode, Jesus has been teaching in the temple, impressing those listening.  Many of them think either that Jesus is “the prophet” or even the Messiah/Christ.  This hubbub leads the Pharisees to send officers to arrest Jesus.  But no one bothers him.  When the officers explain why they did not arrest Jesus, Nicodemus enters the fray.  He wants to know why Jesus is not being given a fair hearing.  But Nicodemus is simply criticized by being asked whether he came from Galilee.  The story is then interrupted by a story seemingly out of context: the incident with the woman caught in the act of adultery.

    Jesus and the Feast of Tabernacles

    This story is narrated in John 7.  In this episode, Jesus’ own biological brothers urge him to attend the Feast of Tabernacles which will be held in Jerusalem.  At the time, Jesus was in the Galilee area in the north.  He had been facing hostility in the south.  Jesus tells his brothers, “No.”  Later, Jesus goes to the Feast.  At first, he does not nothing openly.  Later, he shows up in the temple and teaches.  This prompts the people to express their opinions of Jesus, which ranged from those who thought he was a good man and those who thought he was leading the people astray.  Though the people in the temple were surprised that Jesus seemed so educated, he argued that had nothing to do with formal education.  Instead, he seemed literate, so to speak, because of the One who had sent him.

    From Priest to Prophet (Part 6)

    In this last installment, the Ark of God comes back to Israel.  This allows an opportunity for repentance and amendment of life.  Prior to this, a number of Israelites were struck down for looking in the Ark!  When Israel is repenting, the Philistines try a sneak attack.  But God prevents them.  When Israel’s army went up against the Philistine army, the results were disastrous.  When they confronted the Philistines while Samuel was praying for them, they won easily.
