Helena Martin:
This is Chapter, Verse, and Season: a Lectionary Podcast from Yale Bible Study.

Each episode, we put you in the room with two professors from Yale Divinity School.

Joel Baden:
…The Israelites quarreled and tested the Lord.

Tisa Wenger:
“They tested the Lord.”

Joel Baden:
They tested the Lord’s patience is what they tested…

Helena Martin:
They share their thoughts on texts from the Revised Common Lectionary that week.

Erika Helgen:
…There has been an effort to understand the idea of the Body of Christ in this way.

Chloe Starr:
Well, it’s interesting, isn’t it? We’ve actually come to the passage backwards…

Helena Martin:
I’m your host, Helena Martin, a student at Yale Divinity School and an Episcopal priest.

Join us every Monday if you’re preparing a sermon or a Bible study, or if you just want fresh ideas to frame your own reading of these texts.

Awet Andemicael:
…I’m thinking about Bonaventure’s The Soul’s Journey into God.

Adam Eitel:
What a cool book!…

Helena Martin:
The professors bring you insights from their respective fields, including Bible:

Joel Baden:
…How does Jeremiah become useful for another generation of readers?

Helena Martin:
But also history:

Erika Helgen:
Latin American Catholics needed a church that spoke to their specific local circumstances…

Helena Martin:
Theology and philosophy:

Awet Andemicael:
The theological mystery being brought to us is the mystery of the incarnation…

Helena Martin:
Art, ethics, homiletics:

Peter Hawkins:
…In Hebrew, is it a beautiful text?

Helena Martin:
And more.

Adam Eitel:
It’s not hidden because it’s obscure; it’s hidden because it’s boundless…

Helena Martin:
