You, you address that in, in the nature of God.

Jason ClarkHOST
A- a- and, and the method's really important, uh, on, uh, regarding, like, if I'm gonna put all my eggs in one basket, if I'm gonna try...
Jason ClarkHOST
You know, there's that idea that, uh, we're not supposed to be certain because we live in an age of certainty.
Jason ClarkHOST
Uh, we've got that book from Pete Enns, The Sin of Certainty.
Jason ClarkHOST
I know what he was going after, but every one of us has to have a certainty.
Tim WhitakerHOST
That's a great book.
Tim WhitakerHOST
So is, uh, The Sin of Certainty by, by Pete Enns, and also Dr. Angela Parker has a great book called If God Can Breathe, Why Can't I? That's really good and talks a lot about biblical inerrancy and reading from, like, a womanist perspective as well.
Tim WhitakerHOST
It's really good.

Jared ByasHOST
I would just imagine that changes people, and have you seen that?
Mark GoodacreGUEST
Right.
Mark GoodacreGUEST
I, I would, I would love to hear what Pete's response is to that, but m- mine would be, um, absolutely that I like that term, it's baked in, because I, I will often say in the classroom that you can already see these agreements and disagreements within the canon.
Pete EnnsHOST
Mm-hmm.
NateGUEST
yeah i know yeah actually they kind of have a similar energy honestly they're not that they're not that dissimilar
NickGUEST

NickGUEST
All the
Paul VanderKlayHOST
emerging heretics.
NickGUEST
There's a follow-up called Pete Enns tells me so.
NickGUEST
It's pretty good.
Paul VanderKlayHOST
Nine Rand, oh my.
Murieann LynchGUEST
I cannot claim credit.
Murieann LynchGUEST
That phrase is from Pete Enns.
Murieann LynchGUEST
He is one of the hosts of the excellent podcast, The Bible for Normal People.
Murieann LynchGUEST
I watched the entire back catalogue of that podcast while on my most recent maternity leave.
Pete EnnsHOST
You're listening to the Bible for Normal People, the only God-ordained podcast on the internet.
Pete EnnsHOST
I'm Pete Enns.
Pete EnnsHOST
And I'm Jared Byas.
Pete EnnsHOST
Well, welcome everyone to our episode.
JamieGUEST
We secured funding.
JamieGUEST
Pete Enns was signed on to be one of our speakers.
JamieGUEST
Again, it wasn't a conference to promote an affirming position, But we created the posters, we secured the facilities, and we were super excited.
JamieGUEST
And then the same leader, founder circle leader who had sent out that newsletter, he was the leader of the region Northern Ireland fell under.
Jason ClarkHOST
And I couldn't read it because I would read something horrible.
Jason ClarkHOST
I would I would have to do mental gymnastics around the goodness of God because, you know, Pete Enns comes along and says, God, let his kids tell the story.
Jason ClarkHOST
And oh, my goodness.
Jason ClarkADVERTISER
Yeah.
Tim WhitakerHOST
They're reading the Bible rightly, but we're imposing modern values onto the text.
Tim WhitakerHOST
And the second thing I'll say is, especially when it comes to more actual biblical scholarship, biblical scholars, I'm thinking about McClellan, I'm thinking about Angela Parker, I'm thinking about Pete Enns and many others.
Tim WhitakerHOST
They spend their lives immersing themselves in the ancient world as much as they can, being so far removed to better understand what's going on in the context of the Bible.
Tim WhitakerHOST
And so this narrative that people who have more, in their mind, progressive views about the Bible, which really just means, I think, more accurate views when it comes to biblical scholarship, is actually a very unfair critique.
