This is an example of how a Social Interpretation can be applied to Matthew 20:1-16. The context for this podcast is after hearing a tradition sermon on the same passage, so this provided an opportunity to contrast the different approaches. I will use a similar approach to the rest of the study on the Sermon on the Mount.…

If Jesus was without sin, why was Jesus baptized? Did he just go through the motions in order to set an example for his followers, or is there a way that repentance could apply to what Jesus did at the start of his ministry? And what does it mean that the spirit descended on Jesus?

The Gospel of Mark - Introduction 54:34

54:34

The Gospel of Mark is in the middle of an ideological battle over how to understand the faith of Israel. The implications leave no part of life unaffected, in their time or ours. The way of Jesus is not just a belief but invades the political, economic, and social dimensions of our world. Because many Christians are not used to thinking of their faith in these terms we need to spend some time understanding the context in which Mark was writing.…

Creationism? 25:33

11 years ago25:33

25:33

The Biblical account of creation is one of the most controversial issues for Christianity. The opening chapters of Genesis have caused some to proclaim, that the earth is only 6 to 10 thousand years old, and that humans shared the earth with dinosaurs. For people outside of the church, surely this is one of the most ridiculous claims they have ever heard. The debates over creationism and science seem to be endless. But what if this whole debate is over a mistaken interpretation of Genesis?…
