The Liturgical Chiasm of Genesis 1, with Troy Yurchak - Episode 079
How does the structure of Genesis 1 work as a chiasm, and what does that mean for our view of liturgy--what it is and why we do it? Troy Yurchak joins me for this great discussion that unexpectedly combines literary design with liturgy and discipleship!

The Impossibility of Calculating the Date of Creation - Episode 076
Apologies to Bishop Ussher, but it is impossible to calculate the age of the earth using biblical statistics. I don't care if you are a young earth creationist or an old earth creationist or somewhere in between or nowhere else, but the Bible's genealogies cannot be used in scientific calculations. Hitting also a bit of information of the history of young earth creationism and its connections to Seventh-Day Adventism and scientific fraud.

Never Go in Against a Serpent When Death is on the Line - Episode 075
Death before the fall? It began when Eve decided and they both ate...or did it? It might not be that simple. Plus, in studying, you must have learned that man is mortal, but what about animals? If they weren't immortal, then how could creation have been a paradise? Why do we suddenly get "permission" to eat meat after the flood of all places? (Hint: it's not new.) Debunking common "certainties" and giving a look at Joshua John Van Ee's disseration, Death in the Garden: An Examinatin of Original Immortality, Vegetarianism, and Animal Peace in the Hebrew Bible and Mesopotamia. We may not be able to find out who is right, but we can have fun thinking about it.

The Names of God, Part 2: YHWH - Episode 074
BONUS questions this week: is Jesus Yahweh and what is the filioque? Because I had some extra time on my hands after not finishing last week's episode properly, those seemed some fun additions to the conversation. Talking about the divine economy before digging into the pronunciation of the name YHWH, when it stopped being pronounced, what does it mean that God is the Lord of Hosts, did the patriarchs know the name Yahweh, and why do Genesis 1 and 2 have different names for God?
