Talk Bible To Me The Bold Movement Context is our love language.Talk Bible to Me is where two women who actually love the text walk you through the story behind the story. Kayla Wolfe (B.S. in Bible & Theology, Liberty University) and Megan Rawlings (PhD student in Biblical Studies, Amridge University) mix big-sister warmth with scholar-level clarity. Think laughter with footnotes.Each episode zooms in and gives you the who (author & audience), the when/where (historical setting), the how (literary flow & key terms), and the why (gospel connections), so application flows from accurate interpretation. Expect wit without snark, reverence without stuffiness, and the occasional nod to your favorite scholars and theologians. Bring your Bible and your questions; we’ll bring the maps, the timelines, and just enough Hebrew & Greek to be precise without being pretentious. Press play and level up your Bible reading. Lost Island of Atlantis, The by Edward Taylor Fletcher (1816 - 1897) LibriVox In this paper, read before the Literary and Historical Society, Quebec, Fletcher demonstrates methodically what he perceives as evidence for the existence of the island of Atlantis. He begins by documenting the historical instances Atlantis is referred to in ancient texts, even if only as a myth (Part 1), continues on to analyze linguistic elements that might indicate an Atlantean origin (Part 2), and also presents a connection between the American and the European fossil flora and amber fauna, suggesting that Atlantis is the missing link (Part 3). At the end, he makes mention of the deep-sea soundings of the Atlantic ocean and other geological findings (Part 4). The Lost Island, a poem by Fletcher, is included as Part 5 of this audiobook. - Summary by Rapunzelina Literary Friction Literary Friction A monthly conversation about books and ideas on NTS Radio hosted by friends Carrie Plitt, a literary agent, and Octavia Bright, a writer and academic.
