Interpreting the Bible begins with wrestling with the original context. In part that means understanding the genre of the literature (Gospel, history, letter, apocalypse, etc.) and the genres embedded in them (hymns, letters, confessions, preformed traditions, riddles, etc). Dr. Jeannine Brown, Professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary (Minneapolis, MN), joins David Capes on the Stone Chapel Podcast to discuss how identifying genre helps to know the Bible better.

In this episode of the Stone Chapel Podcast, David Capes talks with N. T. Wright about his book, Jesus and the Powers (Zondervan).  Wright and his co-author, Michael Bird, are deeply concerned about the political polarization in cultures now across the globe.  And they are more disturbed with how Christians are responding in the midst of it.  Wright and Bird address these issues with wisdom and theological clarity.

Episode 199 Rebirth 2.0 with Jonathan Brant Jonathan Brant was recently at the Lanier Theological Library in Houston.  While there, he delivered a great address. He stopped by and talked with David Capes on The Stone Chapel Podcasts.
Who is Jonathan Brant? Jonathan Brant has spent the last 20 years or so in and around Oxford. Prior to that he lived in London.  After earning his PhD, he is today Dean of Research and Cultural Engagement at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University. 
Before coming to Wycliffe, he traveled around the United States and did some work in Uruguay. 
Brant also directs an initiative launched by Michael Lloyd.  They are calling it the Renaissance Project or Rebirth 2.0. 
Rebirth 2.0 Given the tension in the world, Wycliffe Hall believes that the world is ripe for a new renaissance.  The word means “rebirth.â€Â Â 
In a Christian context, the idea of rebirth or “born again†is common.  But Wycliffe Hall is embarking on a grand project. They want to be a catalyst for a grand vision of the rebirth of Christian culture and tradition, Christian values, and Christian participation. 
Brant talks about this primarily in three ways: scholarship, leadership, and creativity.  Each of these are crucial if they want to influence culture. 
Scholarship is important because it is influential on culture.  What happens in the university trickles down to culture. 
Leadership is important for various reasons.  But we can think especially of business and politics.
Creativity is key as well because artists, poets, musicians, and filmmakers tell stories that can shape us in valuable ways.

Episode 198 Lost World of the Prophets John Walton was recently at the Lanier Theological Library in Houston.  He addressed a packed house on a topic related to the book of Daniel. 
Recently, he and Dr. Aubrey Buster, a colleague from Wheaton College, have been working on a commentary on the visionary prophet.
John talked with David Capes on The Stone Chapel Podcasts about another book he published, The Lost World of the Prophets.
Who Is John Walton? Dr. John Walton is a well known Old Testament scholar.  He retired recently from Wheaton College and was named Professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Wheaton College. 
John spent the better part of nineteen years teaching there.  He also taught at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago for nearly twenty years. 
Dr. Walton has spent a career helping us understand that to interpret the Bible well you must interpret it against the background of the times, language and culture of the people to whom it was originally addressed.  
He has a series of “Lost World†books demonstrating the value of knowing the culture.
Lost World of the Prophets John’s most recent book is The Lost World of the Prophets. It does for the writing prophets what The Lost World of Genesis did for the first book of the Bible.  And there have been others.
Walton believes many pigeon-hole the prophets into people who merely predicted future events.  Often at a distance. 
But when prophecy is understood against the times and history of when they were speaking or writing, prophecy takes on a different character. 
As with his other “Lost World†books, he divides the chapters into a number of propositions about the prophets and the seemingly odd character of Israel’s prophets. 
If you want to interpret Scripture well, this is a podcast to which you must listen.
