Pillar Old Testament faculty give their second response to a sermon series by Andy Stanley involving the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. This time, they discuss the meaning and importance of a particularly difficult law in Deuteronomy, as well as its importance for today. 

Pillar Bible faculty offer their first of several responses to a sermon series by Andy Stanley involving the relationship between the Old and New Testaments.

Eric, Scott, and Dan address a listener question about the function and purpose of the "scapegoat" on the day of atonement (Leviticus 16). Using a Hittite ritual and an explanation of sin offerings, they shed light on this sometimes misunderstood passage.

Scott leads Eric and Dan in an introductory discussion about prophets and prophecy in the ancient Near East and the Bible.

Dan directs a discussion on the middle section of the Book of Revelation, using Scott's reflexes as an Old Testament scholar as a launching point.

Eric and Scott finally got Dan to agree to record the third "Revelations" episode, but Dan stabbed Scott in the back, using his New Testament wiles to get Scott to both read the Book of Revelation and talk about it.

Donnell walks Eric through seven characteristics of insecure ministry leaders, and concludes with three steps forward for those who find themselves in these situations. 

"Cosmic Battles" between deities is a theme found in some ancient Near Eastern creation stories. Eric and Scott give a few examples, then turn to examine how that theme is modified in the Book of Genesis to profound effect.

Donnell talks with Eric about how leaders can have real kingdom impact through disciplemaking.

Should we keep the sabbath? To get at an answer to these questions, the guys look at some ancient Near Eastern material to explain why sabbath is tied to creation in the Old Testament, and also look at why it is tied to the exodus.
