the one where I tell everything I really think about Scripture interpretation
from The Zeitcast with Jonathan Martin · host Jonathan Martin
Okay maybe not all that hot, but spicy for me?! Why I think Christians oftentimes overstate the case in making the first testament sound incomplete, when in fact everything we need (from mercy and justice to death and resurrection) was all THERE even before Jesus…and also how strange it is to hear people wrangle with the “problematic” things in the Bible—who love Game of Thrones? It’s all in how you read, and it is illiteracy perhaps rather than any texts that is ultimately killing us.
