Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley work through the lineage of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew and discuss why genealogies in the Bible, though intimidating and confusing on the surface, are significant.
Questions Covered in This Episode:
- Why do the gospels include genealogies?
- What are some of the key differences between the genealogies in the four gospels?
- What makes Matthew’s genealogy distinct?
- When bible readers hit names and numbers in the bible, there is a tendency to skip over to “the good stuff,” what do we miss if we skip serious study and reflection of the genealogies?
- Some have argued that we have to separate the Jesus of Faith from the Christ of history. What does that mean and how does it slip into our thinking? How do the genealogies defy this division?
