In this episode of The Bible Readers Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Matthew Levering. Dr. Levering is the Chair of the Theology Department at Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein Illinois and author of more than thirty books including one which I’ll be giving away. More about that at the end of the show. Dr. Levering has written books of Biblical Natural Law, Scripture and Metaphysics, Proofs of God, and much much more. I recently sat down with him to discuss the flood narrative and how to understand severe punishment in the Old Testament. We had an amazing conversation and Dr. Levering shared some astounding insights.
I hope all of you learned as much as I did during that conversation. As I hinted at before, I am doing a giveaway of two copies of Dr. Levering’s book, Holy People, Holy Land: A Theological Introduction to the Bible, which he co-authored with Dr. Michael Dauphinais.

In this episode of The Bible Readers Podcast, we continue our journey through the Book of Genesis and explore the story of Cain and Abel. We’re reading Genesis chapters 4-5 and if you’ve never read it before or if its been a while, take a few minutes before listening to this and open up your Bible and read along. If you’re not sure what translation to use, use the one that you have! And if you don’t have a Bible on hand, use one online! You can find plenty of free Bibles at places like biblegateway.com. I’ll be using the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition but feel free to use any version you prefer. Today, we’ll be looking at the fateful story of Cain and Abel and we’ll take a closer look at the Genealogies that stem from both Cain and Seth. We’ll discuss why the Biblical author takes the time to record such genealogies and what we can take from them today.

In this episode of The Bible Readers Podcast, we begin our journey through Scripture at the beginning, not just the beginning of the Bible, but the beginning of time and space. We’re reading Genesis chapters 1-3 and if you’ve never read it before or if its been a while, take a few minutes before listening to this and open up your Bible and read along. If you’re not sure what translation to use, use the one that you have! And if you don’t have a Bible on hand, use one online! You can find plenty of free Bibles at places like biblegateway.com. I’ll be using the Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition but feel free to use any version you prefer. Today, we’ll be exploring the Creation Story as well as the story of the Fall of Mankind. We’ll discuss what the Biblical author’s intent was in recording a Creation Narrative as well as the question of how literally to take this account of Creation.
