The Old Testament in Six Minutes
This is a very brief overview of the rest of the Old Testament. My hope is to capture the big picture of the story, showing how the Jewish people were keyed in to the theme of God at work in the world to restore a relationship that is broken by man. Because I moved so quickly through a huge body of work, I am aware that certain ideas may not have been presented as clearly as they could. If there is anything I can clarify, revise, or restate, let me know.

This video looks at Genesis 6-9 concerning Noah and the great flood. Great in the sense that it was huge, not in the sense that it was really fun time. There are a number of issues in this text, and there have been volumes written on it, but my video is only 5 minutes long. That means my goal for the video was simply to cover the author’s main point in including this narrative in the overall story. Let me know if I do a good enough job explaining how that works, because I really breezed over a lot of stuff. Thanks and stay tuned:)
Your Worst Life Now
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7AuG6XuDYo] Since we are discussing a heavy chapter like Genesis 3, I thought I might lend a little levity to the discussion with the title. 3 points to anyone who can tell me what the reference is, and yes I am keeping track of points! I have written a companion paper with this video that covers some of the secondary stuff going on in this chapter. The video of course hits the high points, but there is just so much happening in this one chapter! Well, enjoy, and as always please feel free to post with comments, questions, and discrepancies.

God’s Story: An Artistic Representation (Panel 2)
Here is the section concerning the second panel of the painting, titled “Loss” (The Fall). Is anyone else just amazed with the symbolism in this painting? Incredible…. This is a shorter panel, but the next couple will rock your world.

Okay, so this is the first video where I actually dive into scripture. Understand that there have been volumes written on each chapter I am gonna look at, and I am dedicated to making a video no longer than six minutes. Be gentle. There is a ton that I am not able to cover due to time, so for further reading on the subject, I highly recommend these books:
Genesis 1-4 by Collins
He Gave us Stories by Pratt
Far as the Curse is Found by Williams
Preaching the Whole Bible as Christian Scripture by Goldsworthy
If there are any questions or discrepancies, please feel free to post here and I will do my best to answer.
