Faithful Thomas
Episode description
In this episode we look into the life of the Apostle Thomas and attempt to go through a process of:
1. Not accepting something just because someone says it or says it often
2. Reading the text for ourselves
3. Applying context (cultural, historical, literary) to the scripture we look at
that can be used to dispel all kinds of presuppositions we have about the Bible so that we can study more effectively and begin to think more critically about the text of scripture. Even if you already know all of the information I present here about the Apostle Thomas (unfairly named Doubting Thomas, from my perspective), the structure presented should be something you can take with you throughout all studies of the biblical text and all statements made by others that you'd like the Bible to weigh in on.
