IBR Ep 8- A Talking Snake?
As we move through the first few chapters of Genesis, we find ourselves suddenly confronted with "the serpent" in chapter 3. The serpent has no introduction or back story, it simply shows up. Although there are many opinions as to who or what the serpent was, we may find it profitable to ask what the initial and ancient hearers may have understood it to be. Join the conversation as we discuss the serpent...a talking snake or something else?

IBR Ep 7- Adam in the GardenIn Genesis 2, God plants a garden, places the man (Adam) in the garden, and gives Adam a specific function as it relates to the garden. What exactly is the image of the Garden? How are we to understand Adam and his function in this Garden? In this episode, we begin to look at the beautiful message of identity and function being communicated by the ancient writers.

IBR Ep 5- The Whole Point of Genesis 1Many times, maybe even most of the time, we see the Creation of Genesis 1 referred to as the “six days of Creation”. In this episode, we will explore the massive trouble and error with seeing the Creation narrative this way. We will propose that if we view the point of Genesis 1 as the six days of Creation, then we have quite possibly missed the entire, glorious, earth-shattering, point of what the author is intended to communicate.

IBR Ep 3- Genesis 1 As PoetryThis week we look at Genesis 1 from a perspective that may be completely foreign, that is, as poetic narrative. When we look at Genesis 1 as simply a “lab report” of how the world was physically created, we see but a small and insignificant portion of the bigger story that God is telling.

IBR Ep 2- Hebrew & Greek ThoughtIn this episode of IBR, we have a conversation about how Greeks (Westerners) & Hebrews (Easterners) think about the world differently. This is an invaluable study as it drastically changes the way we process Scripture as a whole and Genesis in particular. Many of the troubles we have with interpreting Scripture comes from the way we ask questions. As westerners, many times we are simply asking different questions than our eastern Biblical authors. We are looking for answers they simply aren’t prepared to give.
