During This Week

During this week, this week in the great glowing of Easter’s message of the resurrection of Jesus, we have an opportunity to gather round our computers (at a distance) and discuss:

The quest of character: a post by a guest writer about an important new book about an important, neglected topic.

The tension in the Gospels between Jesus and his relative, John the Baptist (or, as I translate, “the Dipper”), may have extended to the expectation of violence in the vision of John (and not Jesus).

A rare kind of Substack for me: a sketch of four wonderful new books for your consideration, or that you could consider to purchase and give to your pastor(s).

So, if “inspiration” is not the right interpretation, what was believed about the Bible in the period prior to Origen? Good question.
