Hi, I'm Jessica Bodiford
I have a BA in Theatre, and I always find ways to introduce theatre to the most nontheatrical things. A few years ago, I started applying script analysis to the Bible. Script analysis is a research tool theatre practitioners use to find the intended meaning of a play. Later on, a theology student shared with me that script analyzing the Bible was actually exegesis. Look at me, I'm an armchair theologian!
The Purpose of the BIBLE REWIND
Since then, I've come across the work of real theologians and Bible scholars. And their research has brought new life to the Bible for me. In the Bible Rewind, I interview people who've spent a good portion of their lives researching, teaching, or writing about the Bible. The podcast is a starting point for regular people who are interested in what subject-matter experts have learned about the scriptures. It's up to you to do your own studies and decide if their views on what the Bible says make sense.
For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
