This week we talk about the book of Jonah.  You won’t get moralism here.  The point of the book is too important for that.  Jesus’ words in the Gospels about Jonah are our major interpretive lens.  Listen in as we find Christ in this book of the minor prophets.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) The Unfolding Mystery series by Lee Irons Biblical Theology by Geerhardus Vos The Unfolding Mystery by Edmund Clowney Introduction to the Old Testament by Longman and Dillard Kingdom Prologue by Meredith G.

This week Todd and Chris turn to the book of Esther.  Todd really has some great insight into the book since he grew up Jewish.  How do we understand this book that never mentions God?  Is God still there?  What about his promises?  What does God’s apparent absence mean for the promised Messiah?  Whose word is irrevocable: the decree of the Medes and the Persians, or God’s word?  Listen in as we talk about finding Christ in this unique book of the Bible.   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) The Unfolding Mystery series by Lee Irons Biblical Theology by Geerhardus Vos The Unfolding Mystery by Edmund Clowney Introduction to the Old Testament by Longman and Dillard Kingdom Prologue by Meredith G.

This discussion dives deep into the themes of Ecclesiastes, particularly focusing on the idea of life's vanity and existential struggles. It contrasts traditional and modern interpretations regarding authorship, shedding light on its profound lessons. The hosts explore the repetitive nature of life and the futility of human effort, while emphasizing finding hope in Christ amidst suffering. Ultimately, they connect these ancient insights to contemporary faith, fostering a hopeful perspective on the human experience.

Job is definitely about suffering.  But why does Job suffer?  In this episode, we use Meredith Kline’s contribution about Job in the Wycliffe Bible Commentary to connect Job’s suffering to what has come before in redemptive history - and what will come after.  We hope you find this episode encouraging!   Show Notes:   Give us a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts!  (Click “View in iTunes” and “Ratings and Reviews”) The Unfolding Mystery series by Lee Irons Biblical Theology by Geerhardus Vos The Unfolding Mystery by Edmund Clowney Introduction to the Old Testament by Longman and Dillard Kingdom Prologue by Meredith G.
