    Talky Bnonnsense #16: Re-whimsifying the Bible (part 1)

    God’s words should transform us; we should not transform God’s words. But Bible translators disagree. In this episode, we begin a new series investigating the vast swath of concrete and symbolic words that God actually used in scripture, which get translated away in English Bibles.

    [S1E13] Beautifying the body directly

    If clothes are an extension of our bodies, to add glory to them, what should we think about beautifying ourselves more directly? Is there a principled difference between clothes, makeup, skincare, and even cosmetic surgery? Is it vain to mitigate aging, or is it just like treating a disease? How will people modify their bodies in the postmillennial future? This is a public episode.

    [S1E11] Stages of life & liturgical clothing

    If reforming our clothing means returning to the patterns of scripture, does that mean we should be wearing sackcloth when fasting, and that ministers should wear robes? Also, if clothing should reflect our nature and place, how does age factor into this — since our nature and our place in society changes as we grow older?

    [S1E10] What it means for clothes to be beautiful (or not)

    Now that we understand the symbolic nature of clothing, how should we begin reforming it? What does God want our clothes to look like, compared to what we have now? To begin answering this, we need to understand the connection between beauty, glory, and goodness — both in creation, and in clothing specifically.
