S3E10 - Genre and the Law

We're starting a little summer series on genres of books in the Bible!  Context is king my friends, so let's learn about the context of our Bible books including similar extra-biblical literature, key facts about the genre and how to read it better.
 
I trust the Bible Project so if they have something to say about genre... of course I'm going to link it!  Bible Project podcast episode from June 23, 2017

S3E7 - Greco-Roman Culture in the Bible

You might not realize all the examples of Greco-Roman culture that we see in the Bible, including how the Bible quotes itself, where and how it quotes extra-biblical books and philosophers, and ancient apartment buildings.  Join us for me using a baby voice and using the word ghetto way too many times.

S3E3 - Biblical Hebrew Can Bounce

Have you ever thought that Bible characters must be pretty boring and formal?  That maybe they were always serious and made speeches?  There actually may be a few reasons for that, and we'll explore a few in today's episode, including how the Hebrew verb system isn't as fun sounding as English speakers might accidentally expect it to be.
