Summary

Today's meditation comes right on the heels of Friday's text where we heard the story of the woman caught in adultery. Here, we actually pick up with a conversation Jesus was having in chapter 7 in the Temple. This disjointed transition from one story to the next is called a "seam," and happens when stories have been inserted later into already existent texts. It is for this reason that many scholars think that the story of the woman caught in adultery was, in fact, added later! Strange transitions aside, today's text gives us some interesting theology around the relationship between Jesus and God as well as a very familiar "I am" statement from Jesus himself. Join me as we meditate on and with scripture today!  Thanks, as always, for listening! If you have any feedback, or just want to get in touch with me about the podcast, you can do so via email at [email protected]. Alternatively, if you want to keep up with updates and join in on the conversation about this project, you can like the podcast on Facebook at facebook.com/thepresentword.

Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, The by Irenaeus (2nd cent - c. 202 CE) LibriVox Eusebius in his Ecclesiastical History tells us that in addition to his great work Against Heresies, St Irenaeus wrote A Discourse in Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching. This work was entirely lost sight of: no one seems ever to have quoted a word of it. But it has quite recently reappeared in an Armenian manuscript together with Books IV and V of the greater work. The Armenian translation proves to be a fairly close rendering of the original Greek… What Irenaeus undertakes in the present work is to set out the main points of this Apostolic message, which, as he has explained in his greater work, has been handed down in the Church by the successions of the bishops and is the same in substance in all parts of the world, and to demonstrate its truth more especially from the sacred scriptures of the Old Testament. - Summary from Preface The Feature by World Outspoken World Outspoken The Feature is an interview-style podcast where we share stories of mestizo culture-makers creating beauty and promoting justice. Culture-makers are people who make and give shape to community life. Some makers focus on the arts and make memorials or monuments that help the public remember important events in their history. Some opt to shape their communities through education, hoping to instill ideals in the next generation that were found missing in the present one. Some make culture unintentionally by way of an invention or product they create. Culture-makers are an eclectic group that includes clergy, stay-at-home mothers, not-for-profit workers, architects, activists, inventors, teenage students, and elderly retired folk. Anyone who takes an interest in the community’s life and/or does something to influence it is culture-making.On this show, we focus on culture-makers that help communities flourish by sharing good news in their words and deeds.
