“As for you, you whitewash with lies; worthless physicians are you all. Oh that you would keep silent, and it would be your wisdom! Hear now my argument and listen to the pleadings of my lips. Will you speak falsely for God and speak deceitfully for him? Will you show partiality toward him? Will you plead the case for God? Will it be well with you when he searches you out? Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man? He will surely rebuke you if in secret you show partiality. Will not his maje...

The Prologue to the Book of Sirach: verses 1-3 1 Of the many great things given to us through the law and the prophets and through others who followed them, we should praise Israel for instruction and wisdom. Not only should those who read gain understanding, but also those who love learning should be able to help outsiders understand both through speaking and writing. 2 Thus my grandfather Jesus especially devoted himself to reading the law and the prophets and other books of the fathers. So he...

The purpose of this podcast is to try and hear scripture with ancient ears, putting aside our various theologies and traditions in order to learn from the text through its original language and culture. I will be doing relatively short episodes, reading though the Bible at a snails pace, highlighting words and their ancient understanding in the hopes of reformatting my abstract western mind to the concrete command embedded in the scriptural teaching. This will not be easy. It will be hard to hea...
