Episode notes

This chapter discusses how God's ways contrast with societal standards by calling the weak and meek, turning norms upside down. It explores the interpretation of the Beatitudes as blessings rather than commands and highlights the parallels between Jesus delivering the Sermon on the Mount and Moses receiving the commandments, emphasizing the shift from law to grace.

The story of the Bible is a story of mountains. From the Garden-temple of Eden to Ararat, Horeb, Sinai, and Zion—mountains play an important role in the story of the Bible. Time and time again, God chooses mountains as the place of special communion with his people. In this episode, Michael Horton, Walter Strickland, Bob Hiller, and Justin Holcomb survey the biblical mounts and consider the unique role that Christ’s Sermon on the Mount plays in the biblical story.
