In this episode, Jason A. Staples, Ph.D., a historian of early Judaism and Christianity, answers 4 questions Erik poses about the Bible. Additionally, Dr. Staples answers some questions about his latest book Paul and the Resurrection of Israel.
Here are a few of the questions addressed in this episode:
- The land of Israel is promised as an everlasting or forever promise but that doesn’t last for very long, certainly not forever. How are we to understand the promise and the term forever?
- There were multiple iterations of the covenant in the Hebrew Bible. When the Old Covenant is referenced, which version is being referenced?
- How are we to understand the timing of the books of the Hebrew Bible, especially in light of prophecies and when the books were compiled?
- Is prose distinguished from poetry in the Hebrew Bible?
