SoR Blaze posted:I was hoping that someone could recommend me a biblical podcast, something that really studies the bible as a piece of literature and explains biblical idioms and cultural references that a 21st century person might not understand. This is something that has been difficult for me to look for on my own, as most podcasts on the bible seem to focus more on "how to apply Christ in our lives," rather than "how to understand the Bible and what it's writers were trying to say." The Online Yale University course is pretty amazing, but it only covers the Hebrew Bible (more or less the Old Testament): http://oyc.yale.edu/religious-studies/rlst-145 It analyses the different source authors, times written and edited, text styles, meaning (political, social and theological) and reasoning behind the different books of the OT. It also compares them to religious texts of other groups and religions in the region and how and why they are different/similar. They also have one for the New Testament, but I haven't listened to it yet: http://oyc.yale.edu/religious-studies/rlst-152 Decius fucked around with this message at 14:36 on Feb 21, 2012 |
