S2E6: Rest Assured, What The Creation Story was Intended To Reveal About God

from Theologically Fashioned · host Monica Ritchie

In this episode of Theologically Fashioned, I talk with author and Bible teacher, Rachel Booth Smith about her book Rest Assured, What the Creation Story was Intended to Reveal About Trusting God. This is not a conversation about science. Instead, Rachel asks us to set that aside and become "holy eavesdroppers" as we listen to the creation narrative of Genesis chapter One as an Ancient Near Eastern person would have. Some parts would have been highly offense, while other parts would make ears perk up or hearts lean in. Rachel is full of God's wisdom and a joy to learn from. Her book and additional resources are linked below. Website: Rachel Booth Smith IG: Rachel Booth Smith Book: Rest Assured

C.S. Lewis's The Last Battle St. Philip's Church: Charleston, SC Come join us on Wednesday nights as we explore the riches of C.S. Lewis’s marvelous book The Last Battle, which is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia. It is a remarkable book on multiple levels and was awarded the Carnegie Medal back in the 1950s when it was first published. The Last Battle has some themes in common with The Great Divorce and That Hideous Strength that will make it an excellent follow-up to those two books, and like them, it has some remarkable resonance with things going on in today’s culture. It is a book that is both theologically rich and poignantly beautiful in its writing, and it can help equip us to live boldly for Christ in a culture that has lost its way. (Although this book is the last of The Chronicles of Narnia, it can stand on its own and it is not necessary to have read the other books for this class.)
