Yale offers a free course on the Old Testament

Last updated on: May 13, 2014 at 4:23 pm By Billy Kangas

As I have written about before, I love to spend my free time listening to lectures and podcast about religion, theology and the Bible. I thought I would let you all know that Yale has recently posted a fascinating series of lectures on the Old Testament. I have been really enjoying the course so far. There are 24 classes, and each one is 45 minutes long. I thought I would share one video. They are taught by Dr. Christine Hayes, author... Read more

Why I don’t support the Keystone pipeline

Last updated on: May 13, 2014 at 9:00 pm By Billy Kangas

Last week the Obama Administration unveiled the Third U.S. National Climate Assessment (NCA)—the “most comprehensive, authoritative scientific report ever generated about climate changes that are happening now in the United States and further changes that we can expect to see throughout this century.” What is shows is the need for urgent action to combat the threats from climate change. Of course there have been some who have expressed some skepticism, to which John Oliver responded with hilarity and vulgarity. In a nutshell this latest report is... Read more

Pope Francis: Tolkien Fan

Last updated on: May 13, 2014 at 11:33 am By Billy Kangas

I love The Lord of the Rings. I love the mythology, the lore, the songs, the poetry, the drama, the characters, the world, the races, the battles, the romance, the themes, and the style. There are few things I love more than reading through a chapter of the story. LOTR is one of those books that I can open to any page and enjoy because I know the story so well. I have read through the book numerous times. I... Read more

Reviewsday Tuesday: Scott Hahn’s Bible Dictionary

Last updated on: May 13, 2014 at 9:33 am By Billy Kangas

A couple weeks ago the Gospel reading recounted one of my favorite stories of Jesus. It is the story of his walk down the road to Emmaus with two of his followers after the resurrection. They don’t recognize him at first, for his identity is hidden. As they walk Jesus opens up the scriptures, showing all the ways that the law and the prophets lay a foundation for the cross and the empty tomb. Finally, after a day of walking... Read more

You’ll Love this video: Creation to the Flood in 3 minutes

Last updated on: May 12, 2014 at 7:56 pm By Billy Kangas

There has been a lot of discussion about the movie Noah’s portrayal of the Biblical account. I personally came out in favor of the movie‘s interpretation. One of the most controversial scene’s was Noah’s retelling of the book of Genesis up until the flood. In my opinion it is was of the best parts of the movie. It’s a poetic weaving of the narrative through the mythos of the ancient world alongside the scientific worldview that we bring into the... Read more

Lazarus: The Musical

Last updated on: May 6, 2014 at 4:12 pm By Billy Kangas

The premiere of the new arrangement of Lazarus: The Musical, was one of the highlights of Bread for the World’s 2013 National Gathering. Bread for the World is putting on another performance of it in a few weeks here in Washington D.C. in honor of my good friend Bishop Don Williams. If you’re not failure with it, it tells an inspiring story of judgment and redemption, hunger and hope that retells Jesus’ parable about the hungry man at the rich man’s door in Luke 16th. I would...
