Episode notes
Zahnd's Turning Point
- Brian Zahnd recounts a mystical experience in 2004.
- He was reminded of watching the first Gulf War and felt convicted about celebrating violence.
Evolving Understanding of God
- The Bible is a record of Israel's evolving understanding of God, not a perfect reflection of God's nature.
- We should question our reading of Scripture, not God's morality.
Bible as Testimony
- The Bible testifies to Jesus, the true light, like John the Baptist.
- Jesus is the clearest revelation of God, superseding previous understandings.
