Reading the Bible #7

Sun, 28 Jan 2007 20:10:36 -0600

The next in the series. There will probably be one more and then we're done.

The Reading List:

The Jewish Scriptures: Genesis, Exodus 1-20, I Samuel, selections from Psalms, Amos, and Micah.

The New Testament (Christian Scriptures): Matthew, Acts, Romans, I Corinthians, James.

Reading the Bible #6

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 06:37:03 -0600

Viva has the Learning Bible Discounted: Viva is offering The Learning Bible at a discount. They can only get the hard cover, and only in NIV. I was wrong about the NRSV being available. The NIV version is what I have. Regularly $50, they will sell it to you for $37.50 with $3 shipping.

They didn't want me to say this, but they will lose money on this deal. Thanks Viva!!

Okay, here's the next in the series. I made this one #6 and renamed the last video because it really wasn't in this series. I tried a new setting. The echo is too much, but I was in a big room. Also, Gabe sent me a 1 gig SD card, so I wasn't limited to 6 minutes. I'm worried that this is too long. You know how it goes, you tend to fill up the space you have. Let me know what you think. I went 14 minutes. I could be disciplined and keep it to 10. 6 really is hard to do.

Coming next: I reveal the coolest lectionary study group EVER. Seriously, even my atheist buddies will want in on this. There is, of course, one thing you'll have to bring with you if you want to participate. And it ain't a Bible.

Reading the Bible - Demons

Thu, 11 Jan 2007 06:03:22 -0600

Note: This video is a bit of an excursus from the series on how to read the Bible. I intended the next video to be a discussion of some interpretive tools that are a little beyond the study Bible. But my latest story gives me a chance to talk a little bit about reading the Bible with an awareness of ancient worldviews.

Number 6 in the series on how to read the Bible. Demons and the New Testament.

How To Read The Bible #4

More in the series. The next video is done and will be online in a day or so. And I hope to finish my story, "For We Are Many" by the weekend. BTW, what's with my shirt? It looks like it would hypnotize you if you stared at it hard enough. It's just a striped shirt. What is Google up to?

How To Read The Bible #1

Thu, 21 Dec 2006 07:34:12 -0600

Okay, here's the first in the series. Video #2 is already done and will be posted in just a day or two. Remember, I'm doing this because of a specific request from someone. Sometimes just the right person asks in just the right way. So if you have an interest in reading the Bible, here are some practical tips and guides for you.

And can I just say that Google must have someone choosing the worst possible frames to use as the still shots in these videos. This looks like I'm trying to kiss the camera with my freakish, monkey lips. Nice. Feel free to submit your own caption for this photo.

Six Minutes on the Back Porch

Sat, 02 Sep 2006 20:08:05 -0500

Six minutes on the back porch with Real Live Preacher.
Because my memory card only holds six minutes of video.
And because six minutes is plenty long enough for anyone.
