As we have discussed in the previous series on the evolution of social justice in the Bible, this series will focus on the word love and its many forms that are described in the Bible. Translating from Hebrew and Greek, the word love and all of its attendant forms, describe different ways of relating to one another, to God and to one's life. Join E.J. and Karen as they explore these various terms for love, their applications, and their spiritual meanings throughout time and throughout the Bible.

After completing our look at how the Hebrew Bible was put together in our three-part series Evolution of the Bible, we turn our focus toward the consciousness of the writers through the centuries and their view of God as it evolved throughout the Hebrew Bible and into the Christian Bible. Recognizing that it is our own human perspective about the nature of life, God, and humanity that evolves gives us a context for understanding the scriptures in ways that deepen and support our spiritual...

While there remains public debate about teaching the biblical creation story in schools alongside scientific findings about evolution, the irony is that archaeologists and biblical scholars have unearthed and studied artifacts and scriptural fragments that tell us the Bible itself is a product of evolving points of view, fueled by political influences and cultural values, written by multiple anonymous writers, over hundreds of years of changes, additions, and redactions. If only we had those...

Much controversy has arisen and continues to this day about Jesus' claim to messiahship-"What did he know? When did he know it? What did he claim to be?" Many verses of the Hebrew Bible have guided early Christian gospel writers and theologians to interpret those verses as prophesying the arrival of a messiah and place some of them in the mouth of Jesus. Whatever biographical information the writers may have had 40-50 years after Jesus' death was knit together with fragments of scripture and...

Much of our knowledge about the Bible is centered around the heroes and major players in the stories. But often just as important are those who serve the hero or patriarch on their right hand. Seeing how these individuals support, advise, and even clean up messes gives us great insight into the characters of the heroes and patriarchs but also what qualities complete the dynamics for a successful partnership. Join E.J. and Karen in this most interesting look at those who are second! This...
