RE//DISCOVER Bible Study

Join us as we discuss the good guys that are neither God nor men, but something else entirely.

Join us as we continue discussing the various metaphors the New Testament uses to describe the Cross.

Join us as we read several ancient sermons from the New Testament and notice what the earliest Christians did and did not say about Jesus's death.

The Bible uses other words besides sin to discuss the enemy within. Join us as we discuss these words, especially how they inform Isaiah 53 and other passages that use the idiom of bearing iniquity.

When Gabriel said Jesus would "save his people from their sins", what did he mean by "sin"? Join us as we discuss what the Old Testament imagined sin was. This definition, and no other, is what Jesus and the New Testament authors also meant when they spoke of sin.

Was the serpent of Eden a possessed snake with legs or was he something far, far more mysterious? Join us as we investigate the linguistic and cultural clues that help us put a face to this enigmatic figure.

Was Eve really bioengineered from a rib, or is there more to her story? And is the possibility of Adam and Eve being mortal ruled out by the doctrine of original sin? Join us and find out.

Join us as we discuss the origins of Adam, the exalted being born of the dust. There is probably more to this classic tale than most of us realize.

Join us as we discover that Eden and the Tabernacle (and later the Temple) have a lot in common. If that's true, then what sort of place was Eden? Was it just a nice place to live, or is was it a conduit for God's blessings to reach the realm of mankind?

Join us as we rethink what it means for something to "be" in Genesis 1 - in other words, its ontology. As it turns out, in the Ancient Near East, to "be" mostly meant to have a function in the divine order.
