WHY PROOF TEXTS DON’T WORK: COMMUNICATING ACROSS PARADIGMS
Most of us have experienced the frustration of attempting to get another person to understand our Hebraic view of Scripture. Prooftexts rarely make any difference. The real issue is about the interpretive scheme the other person brings to the text. This is the role of a paradigm. In this lecture Skip and Bob comment on the way paradigms work and how it is possible to help others “see” a different paradigm.

DIONYSUS, THE CULT OF SOULS AND CHRISTIAN CONCEPTS OF IMMORTALITY

Many Christian doctrines show a remarkable affinity with this pagan religion. In this lecture, Skip and Bob explore the connections between Greek religion and later Christian thought, emphasizing the striking differences between Hebraic ideas about the afterlife and the dead.
