Religion is cool

To my #1 podcast of 2021, Crackers and Grape Juice: thank you for keeping me company on @Spotify all year long! #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/pqbLBIgFZ2

My question: Is Sira usually read in Greek? I’m sorry if we covered that last class; I hope we didn’t. Most of the interpretations seems to be using a Greek translation. #bdnz4YHWH

The dense reading was interesting though. I have never put much thought into our images of body and world, and how the two are interconnected. The ways those images find their way into the Bible are interesting. Was Luke not a patriarchal text at last? #bdbz4YHWH

[Sean Baz @SeanBaz2]

I MUCH preferred the reading concerning Sira and his view of women. The other reading is the reason why I don’t think I could stick out grad studies in Bible. So dense. So difficult to understand. #bdbz4YHWH

[Sean Baz @SeanBaz2]

So, how do scholars understand the relationship of the main voices? #bdbz4YHWH

[Sean Baz @SeanBaz2]

@shirae_transou That’s awesome! I love that quote. It seems that the tradition had pitted one against the other, and it is important to recognize both elements. If you completely disregard the sexual element, you’re disregarding something addressed in scripture! For what? The traditions fear?

The Song of Songs is weird stuff, but I love it. It’s a pretty refreshing part of the Bible. Every time I come to it something else sticks out at me. What struck me most with my last reading was the tension built within the pages without any form of resolution. #bdbz4YHWH

My question: How should Christians understand Ecclesiastes’ worldview in light of what we believe about Jesus? #bdbz4YHWH

Bill Brown writes so well. I mean this stuff is understandable. He clearly conveys the understanding of Qoheleth and he clarified the historical and contextual issues. #bdbz4YHWH

@Sarahneryss Totally agree. I feel that way about each book in the Bible once I learn a bit about its historical context. It adds so much more to the text because you’re no longer reading a text, you’re reading something that belongs to a particular society. Pretty cool stuff.

[Sean Baz @SeanBaz2]

Ecclesiastes has got to be one of my favorite books in the OT. There’s something refreshing about it. Don’t take yourself too seriously man. #bdbz4yhwh

[Sean Baz @SeanBaz2]

@shirae_transou Bro right! I was not surprised at all.

[Sean Baz @SeanBaz2]

Bill Brown’s book takes a look at Job from a different perspective. He says that Job’s complaints and admonition are still in line with his righteousness. Neat stuff bro #bdbz4YHWH

[Sean Baz @SeanBaz2]

Jon’s friends are starting to get on my nerves. Their theology is seemingly too straightforward. They tell Job to ask God for forgiveness, as if Job’s suffering is deserved. ##bdbz4YHWH

[Sean Baz @SeanBaz2]

@Sarahneryss Yes! It seems that Job’s friends have a theology and worldview that fits right into the acts-consequence framework. Job isn’t having it.

Alright so this Fox reading was really good. I loved how he related the book of Job to the life of everyday people, and critiques the scholarly consensus regarding the book. His reading opened up new ways of looking at the prologue and epilogue. #bdbz4YHWH

Good ole Kelsey was dense as heck. I loved the politico articles. Politics and religion is a great combination. Also, the biblical wine was not real wine (them fundies know). #bdbz#YHWH
