BAS's Acclaimed Video Lectures: Series One Four-Video Set: Expert Insights on the Bible
Recorded live at BAS's Bible and Archaeology Fest, this four-video set brings world-renowned experts directly to your living room or classroom. Each video is approximately 45 minutes long. IId. Making Humans in the Image of God: Reflections on Genesis 1-3 Peter Machinist, Harvard University In reflecting on the Genesis Creation story, Machinist uncovers implicit definitions of humanity and God. He demonstrates that parallel rhetorical structures and wordplay in Genesis point to distinctions between God and humanity and suggests that the purpose of the Genesis Creation story may be to define God as immortal and knowledgeable, and humans as one or the other but never both. IIIc. A Jesus Hideout in Jordan? Ancient Textual Traditions James Tabor, University of North Carolina at Charlotte Tabor combines clues from the Gospel of John, the story of Elijah, the Dead Sea Scrolls and other historical writings that point to the location of a Jesus hideout east of Jordan, near Calim. IVa. The Early Christian Bible in Art: Pagan or Jewish Roots? Robin Jensen, Andover Newton Theological School Jensen presents a fascinating introduction to the development of early Christian art. She connects themes and symbols with their associative meanings, sorting out which motifs can be traced to pagan prototypes and which are biblical in origin. Jensen also puts the birth of early Christian art into the context of the beliefs and practices of the early Christian community, exploring how, here, when and why Christian art first arose. IVd. Biblical Intertextuality: The Bible Is Full of Itself James Sanderts, Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center, California Challenging the idea that one can fully understand the meaning of a biblical verse based solely on that verse alone, Sanders explains the concept of biblical intertextuality. Since the Bible is full of inner references, one must study a single verse along with the verses that foreshadow or refer back to it, as well as the verses that deal with common themes. He cites specific examples of biblical intertextuality and discusses the traditions of scholarship that have used the concept in their work.
