Hour 1: The Book That Conquered Time
Everyone is familiar with the Bible—after all, it’s still the best-selling book in the world. But just exactly how did we get the collection of sixty-six books that make up God’s Word? Join us today as we discover the differences and similarities between the Jewish holy books and the Christian Bible. Learn how the New Testament writings were copied and collected, including the apocryphal gospels and letters, and the purposes of modern Bible translations and the differences between them.
Hour 2: How Should Christians Think About Israel
Israel and the Jewish people always seem to be in the headlines. Terrorism. War. Antisemitism on university campuses and around the globe. Jews are the topics of conversation in podcasts, on school campuses, and in our homes. Yet Christians are wondering about the modern State of Israel and contemporary Jewish people. Are they related to the biblical kingdom of Israel and the ancient Jewish people of the Scriptures? Others question whether Jewish people are only God’s people of yesterday, or do they have an ongoing place in God’s plan? How does the Church relate to the Jewish people, and why should Christians care about the Jewish people and their homeland? Join us as Dr. Michael Rydelnik answers these questions and more as we consider the Biblical position on modern-day Israel.
