Gospel Conversations podcast
Gospel Conversations takes a creative approach to attaining a deeper understanding of the gospel and what it means to us today. Our speakers are not ministers, but range from a diverse community of Christian thinkers who lead their various fields of knowledge in history, design thinking, theology, philosophy, and organisational leadership—among others. Each month we host a live event in Sydney, then publish it as a podcast. gospelconversations.substack.com

Bible as Word of God
What do we mean by calling the Bible 'The Word of God'? In this talk, Tony addresses this question from first principles. He steps right back and begins with God's intention to communicate.

From there he explains the second layer—people commenting on the history in the form of texts. And all of this is in pursuit of the third layer—the knowledge of God for the purpose of relating to him. Having constructed a grand architecture like this, Tony repositions the Bible as part of the plan, not the whole plan.

This kind of study has only been possible in recent years as vast treasures of ancient texts and inscriptions are being discovered and translated. The result is that we understand the cosmology of ancient peoples in far more depth than previous generations. Get full access to Gospel Conversations at gospelconversations.substack.com/subscribe
