Nonviolent Atonement and the Lectionary: Isaiah 40:21-31 and Mark 1:29-39

Last updated on: February 9, 2018 at 6:21 pm By Adam Ericksen

Is there a way to interpret the Bible that reveals God’s radical love and nonviolence? This weekly video series, called Nonviolent Atonement and the Lectionary, explores that question. Today we look at Isaiah 40:21-31 and Mark 1:29-39. Isaiah 40 begins the section known as Second Isaiah.* This section was written after the Babylonian Conquest of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple. The people were sent into exile. It was one of the most horrific moments of Jewish history. The... Read more

Pastor’s Pet Peeve #1: Anti-Old Testament

Last updated on: February 2, 2018 at 8:54 am By Adam Ericksen

I’m seeing this even on Progressive Christian pages. Many people claim that the Old Testament portrays a tribal God who only cares about God’s people Israel.
