  • Let the scholar talk Mike!

    I love the podcast, but if you invite a scholar on for his or her perspective…let it be shared. Mike gives way too much of his own perspective. Let the scholar talk!

  • Timely, fascinating, desperately needed!

    We need more of this! I am so thankful for access to the insights from these Bible scholars. It really helps me to understand how the Biblical narrative from start to finish about the Kingdom of heaven flows so seamlessly. It’s the tough passages where we learn the most, and fortunately we can now understand them thanks to efforts like this!

  • Looking forward to many more episodes

    I found the first episode so interesting, informative and engaging. If this is any indication of future episodes, then I can’t wait for more. Even if you’re not following along with the reading plan, you can follow along. I love that these are real biblical scholars and people who are actively pursing the deeper study of scripture. Well done.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Matthew | Questions on genealogies, the sermon on the mount, the gifts of the magi, and the Kingdom of Heaven | Dr. David Capes
Q: How does Matthew's presentation of the Kingdom of Heaven differ from that in the other gospels, Paul's writings, or the Old Testament?
Dr. Capes explains that Matthew uses 'Kingdom of Heaven' to reflect Jewish reverence towards the name of God, while Mark and Luke use 'Kingdom of God'. He states that the concept remains consistent across texts but varies in terminology based on audience and context.
Matthew | Questions on genealogies, the sermon on the mount, the gifts of the magi, and the Kingdom of Heaven | Dr. David Capes
Q: What did Mary and Joseph do with the gifts that the Magi brought to Jesus? Do those gifts have a specific symbolic meaning?
Dr. Capes reflects on the symbolic meanings of the gifts: gold symbolizes royalty, myrrh associates with mortality, and frankincense represents divinity and possibly prayer.
Matthew | Questions on genealogies, the sermon on the mount, the gifts of the magi, and the Kingdom of Heaven | Dr. David Capes
Q: What does it mean to have a righteousness that exceeds the scribes and Pharisees?
Dr. Capes discusses how Jesus's view of righteousness is about doing the right things for the right reasons, focusing on the heart, rather than just external adherence to the law.
Matthew | Questions on genealogies, the sermon on the mount, the gifts of the magi, and the Kingdom of Heaven | Dr. David Capes
Q: Is there an error in the counting of the generations in Matthew chapter 1? Why are they different from those listed in Luke 3?
Dr. Capes explains that both genealogies have different purposes. Matthew emphasizes Jesus's royal lineage and connections to Abraham and David, using gematria with the number of generations. He points out careful counting and the inclusion of key figures at generation junctions.
Luke-Acts | Questions on Luke as a historian, his focus on women, and Pentecost | Dr. Aida B. Spencer
Q: What is the significance of the women being the first witnesses to Jesus' resurrection in Luke 24?
This was significant as it was countercultural, highlighting Jesus' acknowledgment of women's value and their roles as witnesses despite societal norms.
