À propos de ce contenu audio

 Faith Lab takes serious biblical scholarship out of academic conferences and dense books and makes it accessible to everyday listeners. Hosted by Nate and Shelby Hanson, the show features conversations with historians, biblical scholars, and experts who study the origins of Christianity, the New Testament, and the world of the Bible. Nate and Shelby serve as curious guides, asking honest questions and pressing guests to explain their research clearly. After 10 years of deconstruction, Nate’s journey through pastoral ministry and work alongside Francis Chan led him back to Christian faith through serious engagement with biblical scholarship.© 2026 Faith Lab Christianisme Ministère et évangélisme Philosophie Sciences sociales Spiritualité

      He read the ancient sources. They don't say what you think.
      Feb 18 2026
      A claim has circulated in scholarship for decades: ancient birth narratives were never meant to be taken as history. If true, the Christmas stories in Matthew and Luke would be beautiful legends, nothing more. New Testament scholar Caleb Friedeman didn't just accept that claim. He went back to the actual ancient biographers -- Plutarch, Suetonius, Philo, Cornelius Nepos -- and tested it. What he found changes the way we should evaluate the opening chapters of the Gospels. Caleb walks us through what ancient authors were actually doing when they wrote birth stories, and why Luke's birth narrative may have stronger historical markers than almost any other section of his Gospel.

    • Tim Mackie: The Bible Isn't What You Think (Part 2)

      Tim Mackie: The Bible Isn't What You Think (Part 2)
      Feb 11 2026
      Want the full, unedited conversation? Parts 1 and 2 combined with some bonus parts, over 80 minutes with Tim Mackie. Available exclusively for premium members at faithlabshow.com/support This is Part 2 of our conversation with Tim Mackie, co-founder of The Bible Project. Listen to Part 1. Tim walks through one of the most disturbing stories in Genesis (what actually happened between Noah and Ham) and uses it to reveal how biblical authors embedded narrative riddles that only unlock as you read further. He explains why the Bible isn't a rulebook but an epic narrative pointing to a person, how Jesus himself engaged Scripture when asked about hot-button issues, why head-on theological debates almost never change anyone's mind, and what he means when he says "faithfulness" is a better word than "inerrancy." If Part 1 introduced design patterns, Part 2 shows what happens when you let them reshape how you read everything. In this episode: The Noah and Ham story, what actually happened and why the Bible leaves it ambiguous on purpose. How narrative riddles work across Genesis, Leviticus, and Samuel. Tim's Yoda analogy for how we misread the Bible. Why the Bible is a narrative pointing to Jesus, not a rulebook. How Jesus handled marriage and divorce by going back to Genesis 1–2. Why head-on theological debates almost never work. Inerrancy vs. faithfulness and why Tim prefers the Bible's own vocabulary. Bible translations as a bag of golf clubs. Tim's personal experience of encounter through Scripture. Thoughts, questions, stories? faithlabshow.com/contact⁠ Become a member and get: 1. Full, unedited ad-free interviews 2.

      Tim Mackie: How to Read the Bible (Part 1)
      Feb 4 2026
      Want the full, unedited conversation? Parts 1 and 2 combined with some bonus parts, over 80 minutes with Tim Mackie. Available exclusively for premium members at ⁠faithlabshow.com/support⁠ This is Part 1 of our conversation with Tim Mackie, co-founder of The Bible Project. Listen to ⁠Part 2⁠. Most people read the Bible like a modern instruction manual. Tim Mackie says that's exactly the problem. In this episode, Tim breaks down how the Bible was actually designed to communicate through repetition, pattern, and intentional structure. We look at why the early chapters of Genesis aren't just origin stories but training ground for how to read the rest of Scripture. Once you see the design patterns, you can't unsee them. Part 1 lays the foundation. Part 2 shows what happens when you let it reshape how you read everything. Thoughts, questions, stories? ⁠faithlabshow.com/contact⁠ Become a member and get: 1.
