A Bible Shaped by Trauma
What if the primary shape of the Bible came out of traumatic events? This is the theory Dr. David Carr poses in the Round Table Talk titled Trauma and Biblical Origin. After the year+ we have all lived through with the global pandemic, it might be good to think through the ways trauma shapes our lives. And if we follow Dr. Carr's proposal, we may gain new insight into the shape and heart of the Bible.
A Bible Shaped by Trauma
"In the beginning"...Then What?
Dr. Yeshaya Gruber joins us again to talk about his course Exploring Jewish Interpretations. Last week we talked about the diversity in interpreters and how their social, historical, and geographical context influenced their interpretations. This week we talk about all the ways you can interpret the first phrase in the book of Genesis.

What is "Jewish Interpretation"?
Dr. Yeshaya Gruber joins me to clarify some of the complexities behind the idea of "Jewish Interpretation," which is not a monolithic thing! We focus this week on the diverse historical periods interpreters lived in that shifted their perspectives and how they interpreted the Bible. How many of these scholars have you heard of?

Wilderness Temptations
Professor Pinchas Shir joins me to talk about his course The First Commandment: Deuteronomy and the Gospels. We focus today's conversation on why it makes sense that Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy when he resists the Tempter in the Judean Wilderness. What parallels are there between the life of Jesus and the Israelite history in Deuteronomy 6 and 8.

What do Commandments have to do with Eternal Life?
Professor Pinchas Shir joins me to talk about his course The First Commandment: Deuteronomy and the Gospels. We discuss if the 10 are "commandments", "words", or "categories" before diving into a conversation between an unnamed man and Jesus about how to achieve eternal life. What did "eternal life" even mean at that time?
