We started a Podcast! Post by Mary C. Findley

If you’ve taken a look around the new website design, you’ve noticed a couple of tabs that don’t have any entries under them yet. One of those is “Podcast.” Most people know what a podcast is. When I started figuring that out, one thing I learned is that content and length vary a LOT. I … Continue reading We started a Podcast! Post by Mary C. Findley

Excerpt from Under the Sun: A Traditional View of Ancient History

After the flood, the most rapid, massive cultural change on record is the Exodus. The time of the Exodus was a dramatic change for every culture on earth that we know about. Thousands of years before the label “Second Intermediate Period” existed, Jews, then Christians, then Muslims, understood that the Exodus was the destruction of … Continue reading Excerpt from Under the Sun: A Traditional View of Ancient History

Isaiah Chapter 3: Culture of Youth and Beauty — Post by Mary C. Findley

Sounds like Jerusalem and Judah had it pretty good, right? Look over that list of material provision (support system, food, water) and leadership (military, judiciary, teachers, advisers, craftsmen, and someone who may have been a charismatic speaker or influencer). The use of the phrase skillful enchanter gives us a hint that they weren’t sourcing any … Continue reading Isaiah Chapter 3: Culture of Youth and Beauty — Post by Mary C. Findley

Isaiah Chapter One: The Price of Doing What You Want

Isaiah was a prophet to four kings in Judah. His book is, in our modern version, 66 chapters long, the same as the number of the books in our Bible. Some have called it a microcosm of the whole Bible. Indeed, we can find many of the elements throughout the Bible in this one book, … Continue reading Isaiah Chapter One: The Price of Doing What You Want

This had two important results. 3) … Continue reading A Simple Overview of the Mechanisms Which Caused the Flood — Post by Michael J. Findley
