Rescuing Jesus from the Bible

Welcome to the Rescuing Jesus podcast page!

Here you will find brief descriptions and links to my two podcast series: "Atheists for Jesus: Rescuing Jesus from the Bible" and "Rescuing Jesus (and America) from the Religious Right." As the names imply, the first series will deal primarily with Biblical subjects (and will be identified with episode numbers) and the latter with religion as it interacts with political issues (and the 2010 episodes will be identified by "RJ 2.0" followed by a brief description of the topic). Both of these podcast series can also be found on iTunes by searching the Store for: "Schei". Older episodes of "Rescuing Jesus (and America) from the Religious Right" that were done in 2006 can be accessed by clicking HERE

and also on iTunes. These podcast were done during the George W. Bush administration and while some of the information is, therefore, somewhat dated, I do believe that they contain useful information that is still valid today. (I plan on producing updated versions of these podcasts in the near future.) I hope that you will find the information in these podcasts to be of interest and of value to you. Please feel free to contact me with your feedback.
Sincerely,
Ken Schei

Rescuing Jesus from the Bible: Episode 7

[Religion] / 03/30 23:44

PODCAST Podcast

In this episode, we are going to take a look at the moral teachings of the Old Testament as exemplified in its "Hero Stories." Hero stories have been, and still are, utilized by almost every culture to pass on lessons about bravery, honesty, compassion, justice, responsibility and other values that the culture considers to be worth promoting and perpetuating. We will examine three such stories from the Old Testament, (Abraham, David, and Lot), to see if their moral message fits in with the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
