\nThis special edition of the CultureCast is from the first live session of\xa0Surviving the Bible for Lent, with Homebrewed Christianity’s Tripp Fuller. Tripp, Christian, and Amy take a look at the\xa0texts for the second Sunday in Lent (Mark 8:31-38; Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16; Romans 4:13-25) plus a brief look at last week\u2019s texts. They talk about the Transfiguration, Peter as object lesson, the willing surrender of control, and Christus Victor.
\n
\n* can we reconcile a Christus Victor christology with a willingly vulnerable God/Christ?
\n* what does it mean to call Jesus the Christ?
\n* was Jesus really tempted?
\n
\nThey also cover the\xa0ways these texts have been used to justify suffering, oppression, and abuse, the covenant between God and Abraham, the genesis of the Genesis passage, how the mistranslation of one of the proper names of God radically changes our understanding of the passage, and the importance of the maternal lineage and parental role of God in these passages.
\nPlus everyone wrestles with Paul about the difference between Law and Covenant
\nAnd don\u2019t forget you can enter to win some sweet new bibles from our friends at the Common English Bible.
\nIf you want to join the Surviving the Bible for Lent group, it\u2019s not too late!
\nSure, we all know Bible verses and may have even tried to read the \u201cwhole Bible,\u201d maybe even more than once. But it can be confusing, contradictory and \u2013 if we\u2019re being honest \u2013 really freaking boring in places. But there\u2019s another way to approach scripture that can actually make sense, and might even be enjoyable.
\nJoin the CultureCast\u2019s Amy and Christian Piatt, along with Tripp, in figuring out how to \u201cSurvive the Bible\u201d together this Lent.
