On the second floor of the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., there is an exhibit on the impact of the Bible in America. Cole Feix, a pastor in Oklahoma, was recently the guide for David Capes and nearly 40 college students from many Ivy League schools. The artifacts tell a compelling story of how influential the Bible was in early, colonial America. Cole joined David Capes on "The Stone Chapel Podcast" to tell some of those same stories.

Did you know Exodus is in the New Testament? Not all of it, of course. It’s the second book of the Old Testament. But New Testament writers often quote from it, allude to it, and take some of its key themes as a way to describe how God was working in, through, and by Jesus. Seth Ehorn has edited an important book of the same title as part of the "Library of New Testament Studies: Exodus in the New Testament." Seth Ehorn joined David Capes on "The Stone Chapel Podcast" to talk about his book. He is a bright, young scholar worth watching and listening to.

In Matthew’s genealogy (ch. 1), Mary the Mother of Jesus is the last of five women mentioned by the evangelist. As Jesus’ mother, she has a special role in the plan of redemption. Nancy Dawson joins David Capes today to talk about this remarkable woman. Some Protestants mute her because some other Jesus followers hold her in such high regard. But the Scriptures give her a large voice (Luke 1-2) at the occasion of the Incarnation. Dr. Dawson is author of an important book, "All the Genealogies of the Bible" (Zondervan Academic).

Scientist and genealogist, Dr. Nancy Dawson, is back on this episode of The Stone Chapel Podcast to talk about another “grandmother” of Jesus. Bathsheba is not named in Matthew’s genealogy of Jesus (Matthew 1). She is referred to as “the wife of Uriah.” David fathered Solomon “through the wife of Uriah.” Matthew’s comment on the genealogy echoes the scandalous episode in King David’s life when he took the wife of another man and then had him killed. Jesus’ ancestry is not squeaky clean. No, his family consisted of deeply flawed and troubled people who needed to be forgiven and redeemed. No wonder, Jesus was called a friend of sinners. Next week Nancy returns to talk about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Dr. Dawson is author of an important book, "All the Genealogies of the Bible" (Zondervan Academic).

This week Dr. Nancy Dawson is back to talk about two other remarkable women, grandmothers of Jesus: Rahab and Ruth. These women became famous as converts to the faith of Abraham and are part of the family line of Jesus. What else do they have in common? Listen to Nancy, and see if you can figure it out.

Matthew’s Gospel begins with the genealogy of Jesus and includes five remarkable women, one of whom was his mother. In this episode, scientist and genealogist, Nancy Dawson unpacks the story of the least known of the women, Tamar. Matthew’s inclusion of these women was purposeful not accidental, but why? Listen to Nancy, and I think you will know why. Dr. Dawson is author of an important book, "All the Genealogies of the Bible" (Zondervan Academic).
