The show engages in key passages and unpacks them in a lively conversation to reveal how they touch on our core beliefs. Your hosts bring with them years of experience as presenters from the Learn to Read the Bible Seminars. Hosted by the Book Road Christadelphians.

This is part three of our three-part series on the inspiration of the Bible. In this episode, we look at how the Bible describes itself as "innerant". This is not a word that we use too often and neither does the Bible. The Scriptures have different ways of talking about it though. Tim Young and Jay Mayock look at three key passages that talk about the purity of God's word and how important they are for our outlook on studies of the Bible.
The chart on Psalm 19 is here.

This is the second part of a three-part series on the inspiration of the Bible. This one is about the scriptures, the written word of God. How did the spoken word of God come to be written down? Jay Mayock and Tim Young continue with this all-important subject discussing how the true inspiration of the Bible is under attack today and how we have to study our Bibles to know what it claims for itself.

The basis of all our studies is that the Bible is the Word of God. What does it mean that the Bible is inspired by God? What does the Bible say for itself on this question? Jay Mayock joins Tim Young to begin this three-part series on the inspiration of God. In this first part, we'll see how God spoke through angels, prophets and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Season 2 starts where we left off last season with the question, "Where is Genesis 2:7 quoted in the New Testament?" This leads on a journey to understand Paul's message about the resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15. Along the way, our Bible study reveals to us the meaning of the word "soul" and its connection with Psalm 49. Listen in as Tim Young and Steven Macfarlane discuss this essential Bible study.

Our studies in "faith" continue with this important podcast on how faith saves. Stephen Macfarlane and Tim Young begin at the starting point of Genesis 15:6. This verse is so vital that it is quoted three times in the New Testament. We draw lessons from each New Testemant passage learning about justification by faith and how faith is to be seen in our works.
