  • Proverbs: "Common Knowledge" about Lady Wisdom

    Proverbs: "Common Knowledge" about Lady Wisdom
    2025/07/16
    Today we discuss the book of Proverbs which consists mostly of line after line of aphorisms – wisdom sayings (perhaps, common knowledge?). While it is mostly saying after saying, sometimes even ones that conflict with one another, there is a structure to it.The early part of the book frames this book as predominantly the wisdom of Solomon, passed along and written down later by others. The book is written in the format of a parent or teacher to a child (specifically a son) or a student. Of the Hebrew scriptures, this book is not really mentioned in the Gospels and New Testament. This is at least in part because it was one of the latest books added to the scriptures. We discuss why this is the least favorite book of both Rick and Elliot, mostly for its simplistic view of the world that doesn’t hold up to lived life. We spend some time discussing “the fear of the Lord/God” and the ways in which fear is understood in the Bible in various ways. Mostly in Proverbs we are dealing with awe and reverence rather than terror or horror. Rick discusses that Wisdom (Greek: sophia) is personified as a woman, who was present for and active in the creation. In our episode on the Gospel of John we talked about the Logos and you’ll note the similar language used to talk about Jesus the Christ. This is particularly interesting because it raises the question: are “sophia” and Christ one and the same? Elliot notes that some interesting debate about the nature of God can be found in Rick’s sermon from Trinity Sunday, when he talked about the anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. Rick notes that Proverbs 8 was used as a proof text by both sides, Arius and Athanasius, in the major arguments during that Council.As we begin to close out, Elliot makes a recommendation of very approachable book about the Old Testament, “Getting Involved with God” by Ellen F. Davis. Davis is also a resource for another writer brought up at the end of the episode. Natalee brings up the 31st and final chapter of Proverbs, and in particular “the Proverbs 31 woman”. We talk about how this particular section of the Proverbs is not attributed to Solomon, but rather to King Lemuel's mother. The text describing the Woman is an Hebrew acrostic poem – which we cannot tell in our English translations. Natalee notes the writings of Rachel Held Evans writings on Proverbs 31 woman found in the book, “A Year of Biblical Womanhood” as well as on Rachel’s blog. Interestingly, Rachel Held Evans grew up in the town where the Scopes Monkey Trial was held in 1925 (100 years ago this month even!) and wrote about that in her book, “Evolving in Monkey Town” which has since been renamed, “Faith Unraveled: How a Girl Who Knew All the Answers Learned to Ask Questions.” You can find more at https://rachelheldevans.com/.

  • Job: Does suffering have a point?

    Job: Does suffering have a point?
    2025/07/09

    On today's episode...

    Today we talk about the Book of Job, starting with a quick chat on where the book came from, and what we know about its piecemeal composition. You’ll notice that the text starts and ends with prose and has a middle section of poetry. These sections were not all written at the same time.

    Why was Job written, what is the major question it is here to answer, and how does it answer this question? How is Job’s answer in tension with the other answers offered both in our Wisdom literature and the other scriptures we’ve read through so far and upcoming?

    What or who exactly is the cause of Job’s suffering? In our discussion we briefly review the origins of Satan, suggesting a book of the same name: “The Origins of Satan” by Elaine Pagels.

    We get into the ways that Job’s friends deal with his suffering and a discussion on how we can deal with the emotions of suffering when we encounter it – especially the grief of others. Rick offers a resource, a book by Megan Devine called “It’s okay that you’re not okay.” Elliot also mentions an article by Parker Palmer on the “On Being Project” called “The Gift of Presence, the Perils of Advice.”

    We get Rick’s favorite quote, Elliot points out the most sarcastic phrase in the Bible, and then we wonder – but does this story solve the problem of evil and suffering? And do we find this scripture satisfying in its answers?

    Quick correction – we’re actually 36 episodes in, not 34! Whew, that went fast!

  • Back Track: The Gospel of Luke

    Back Track: The Gospel of Luke
    2025/07/02

    We're on a break this week, so we offer you this re-run (or as we call it, a back-track) of our episode on the Gospel of Luke. We're reading through Luke in our Sunday morning lectionary currently, so we thought it was a good time. Here are the details from our first time through:

    On today's episode...

    We discuss the Gospel of Luke!

    Here how Luke, a synoptic Gospel, is both like, but also very different from Matthew and Mark which we’ve already discussed.

    We go over some Christology – the theology of Jesus – eventhough we didn’t mean to!

    And of course, we go down a few rabbit holes and mention afew spoilers – especially regarding Acts, which is likely written by the same author as Luke.
