Episode 45: Turning to the New Testament: Manna and Mercy and some context

It’s not a lecture... just a thought

Regular listeners may have noticed that this episode is a day or two late! My apologies for that! It is Masters and Doctoral submission ‘season’ and I have a number of students completing and submitting their research! So things have been a little hectic! Well, back to today! In this episode we turn from the Old Testament to begin our journey into the books of the New Testament! We are about half way through the entire series, and today we touch base with our framing hermeneutic lens (the way in which we are reading the texts), and focus on the notions of ‘Manna and Mercy’, and the context of Jesus and the authors of the New Testament writings. Have you got any questions or feedback for us? Please do make contact! At this stage we are releasing 2 episodes a week (Tuesday and Friday mornings) - so please do check back! Today we also included a short sponsorship - I hope it is not obtrusive. Any income received helps us to support projects and initiatives related to justice and peace that we are involved in. The series contains almost 100 episodes - please do check back with us each week.
