Bible Field Guide

Do you want to explore the rich literary landscapes of the Bible? We’ll be your Field Guide. Each episode will help you make sense of God’s word by exploring a key cultural, historical, literary, or theological dimension of the Bible. We post a new Field Guide once a week to enrich your Bible Study. Check out our visual essays and explainer images on our instagram page: http://instagram.com/BibleFieldGuide Or you can see them on our website: http://www.BibleFieldGuides.com https://pathology.wustl.edu/people/joshua-swamidass-md-phd/ (Dr. S. Joshua Swamidass) is a professor at Washington University, founder of the platform https://peacefulscience.org/author/swamidass/ (Peaceful Science), and author of a new book, https://peacefulscience.org/genealogical-adam-eve/ (The Genealogical Adam and Eve). We are excited to feature him in our first guest interview. In this episode, https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) asks Dr. Swamidass about his faith, his research, and how he reconciles the two. They discuss a wide range of topics, including Genesis, genetics, evolution, AI, and aliens. Patrick asks questions for scientists and non-scientists, for skeptics and believers. Listen to their conversation as they navigate how Christianity and science work together.
