Описание: Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...)


When I heard about Amanda's book about archeology and the Bible I HAD to talk to her! Have you ever thought about the fact that how we view the Bible and its stories might now accurately line up with what actually happened in that time period? 


Well, that's where Amanda comes in! She has a passion to help us see scripture as it actually was. What the landscape looked like, how the people lived and how things were actually laid out thousands of years ago. She does this through archeology! The rock nerd inside of me jumped for joy when I realized that we can use archeology to help us better understand the Bible! 


Amanda Hope Haley is a lover of the Bible - God, words, people, and history. Writing and speaking as the Red-Haired Archaeologist®, she teaches how artifacts contextualize Scripture. She hopes to see Bible lovers work together to learn history, interpret Scripture, and apply God’s Word to their lives. Amanda earned an MTS in Hebrew Scripture and Interpretation from Harvard University. She contributed to The Voice Bible as a translator, writer, and editor, and she has been a collaborator for popular Christian authors. She and her husband live in Tennessee.


Please hear me out, this information is not supposed to make you question your faith, but instead get curious about what you've been taught. To think critically and use newly discovered information to help you understand scripture. This will strengthen your faith, not destroy it! This is exciting! 


Key Takeaways: 

• We need to encounter the text of the Bible with curiosity and an openness that maybe the felt boards of our youth weren’t as accurate as we thought
• We need to ask, “What am I reading into scripture?” aka “What am I adding that isn’t accurate?”
• Never question the scripture itself, but ask questions about what you’ve been taught about scripture
• God is not afraid of your questions, He loves our curiosity!
• Traditions can pass down inaccurate ideas of the Bible
