My slides from the first day of Bible & Culture 2016:

1) Daniel prays to God and confesses Israel's sins. Gabriel appears and informs Daniel that Jerusalem will be restored and that there will be 70 weeks of years until an anointed one is cut off.
2) Daniel has a vision of future events involving conflicts between kings of the north and south. An especially evil king will persecute God's people but will ultimately come to his end.
3) God reassures Daniel that he is sovereign over history and will deliver his people from extreme persecution, even raising the righteous to everlasting life in his kingdom. The themes are God's faithfulness and the ultimate victory of good over evil.
Bible+Culture 2015: Media 3. Moonrise KingdomTony Watkins
My slides on media from days 3 and 4 of Bible & Culture 2015 (www.bibleandculture.org). These sessions used Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom as an extended examples of film engagement.
This document provides an overview and analysis of chapters 6-9 of the Book of Daniel. It summarizes the key events and visions in these chapters. The document also discusses the genre of apocalyptic literature, noting that it uses symbolic visions and supernatural beings to convey messages of hope about God's ultimate victory during times of crisis. Specifically, Daniel 7 is analyzed in depth, with identification of the four kingdoms represented by beasts in the vision, as well as the "one like a son of man" who contrasts with these kingdoms. Guidance is provided on properly interpreting apocalyptic literature.

The two different chronologies for the patriarchs are because there are two significantly different ways of dating the Exodus. You'll need to look at the evidence and draw your own conclusions! Note that these are still a work in progress, but they're available now for those who want them in this unfinished form.

The document discusses different perspectives on religious pluralism and whether Christianity is the only way to ultimate truth or reality. It presents arguments that all religions are equally valid and see parts of a bigger truth. However, it also notes that not all religions have the same view of reality or lead to the same end. The document raises questions about whether cultural conditioning determines religious beliefs and whether any view can claim to be true. It references Jesus' statement that he is the way and the truth, suggesting Christianity provides the most inclusive yet exclusively true beliefs.
1) The document discusses how finely tuned the parameters of the Big Bang were and how unlikely it is that this occurred by chance.
2) It presents arguments that the fine-tuning is evidence of design, as it is not due to physical necessity or chance.
3) The document explores questions around the origins and existence of the universe, and whether science can fully explain these without needing to postulate a creator or God.
The document provides an analysis of the structure and themes of the Book of Hosea. It is divided into seven sections (A-A') that alternate between themes of Israel as a wayward wife/son and their unfaithfulness to God through idolatry. Each section also contains elements of God's past care for Israel, their giving Israel up due to sin, and future hope for restoration. The analysis notes it is difficult to clearly identify the larger units of Hosea and this should be considered a preliminary reading. It then examines several passages in more detail to demonstrate patterns around Israel's relationship to God.
This document provides an overview of the book of Hosea in the Bible. It is divided into sections that mirror the structure of Hosea. The main themes are Israel's unfaithfulness to God through spiritual prostitution and empty sacrifices. Various places mentioned in Hosea are defined, most located in northern Israel and linked to Israel's history of idolatry and rebellion against God.
This document provides a list of places mentioned in the book of Hosea in the Bible. It includes locations such as Gilgal, Beth-Aven, Bethel, Mizpah, Tabor, Shittim, Gibeah, Ramah, Shechem, Memphis, Baal-Peor, Beth-arbel, Admah, Zeboiim, and Gilead. Many of these places are associated with idolatry, rebellion, or slaughter that occurred there according to the text. The document also notes that "hesed" refers to steadfast love, loving-kindness, or mercy in Hosea.
Slides from day 3 of my teaching on Hosea at Bible & Culture 2014. The slides today include quite a bit of material on Hebrew poetry and more figures of speech, both of which Hosea and other prophets use extensively.
Bible and Culture 2014 - Hosea - Day 2Tony Watkins
The slides from day 2 of my teaching at Bible and Culture (bibleandculture.org) 2014. We looked at Hosea 1–3 and considered some of Hosea's use of simile and metaphor, as well as talking about his root metaphor of YHWH's household (drawing on J. Andrew Dearman's NICOT commentary on Hosea). The structure of chapter 2 is from David Dorsey's Literary Structure of the Old Testament.

1) A worldview is a fundamental orientation or story that provides a foundation for how we understand reality, humanity, knowledge, morality, and our most basic problems.
2) Engaging with other worldviews involves identifying their key components, evaluating their coherence and correspondence with reality, and finding both points of contact and tension with the Christian worldview.
3) The goal of Christian apologetics and spirituality is to lead people into a relationship with Christ that transforms their entire worldview and life, not just their intellectual beliefs.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
