Q&A #1 - Deconstruction, Polytheism, Resources, Eschatology - Episode 013

Our first Q&A! Timestamps: (1:11) - What do we do when we grew up Christian, or have been in a particular Christian tradition or church for a while, and…we start thinking in terms of biblical theology, of studying the Bible in its ancient context? (18:00) - In college years ago, I heard about the idea that the Israelite’s religion evolved from polytheism to monotheism. It looks to me like you’d disagree with this, but the professor made it seem like such a sensible idea, and when I look at all this parallel literature, I really can see a point there, so maybe could you talk about that? (38:56) - How do I find good resources? And how can I judge a resource well so that I am not wasting my time? (48:48) - Do you reject young earth creationism? (50:30) - If you reject young earth creationism, are you sold on old earth creationism? (51:21) - If the gods of the nations are real, if God gave them authority, and if Christ defeated them, then…why doesn’t it seem like they’re defeated? Why are they still around?
