Talking John - Episode 4: ”Peeling Onions and Flipping Tables”

Scripture: John 2:13-25

Description: In this episode, we take a moment to think about the limits of interpretation of the Bible, and we discuss how John puts the flipping over table moment at the beginning of the story instead of at the end of the story like the Synoptics.  We also wonder where the line is on making the church a business.

 

Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study:

1. When have you had a new understanding of Scripture, particularly a Scripture you have read before? Where do you think that new understanding came from?
2. When have you heard an interpretation of Scripture that you think exceeds the possibility of meaning?
3. If you are part of a church, how is your building used, especially during the week?
4. It we think of ourselves as God’s Temple, what are the implications for how we care for ourselves and each other?
