"The Bible Engineer" with Jonas Bergsten

2026/11/03

David Capes welcomes Jonas Bergsten, known as the "Bible Engineer," to discuss the Core Bible project. Inspired by the Amplified Bible, the translation uses parentheses, brackets, and visual layout to bring out nuances in the original Greek and Hebrew. Jonas shares how his experience with dyslexia and engineering shaped his approach, and how he and his wife, Lisa, helped create the Swedish Core Bible. Now they're developing an English version, with online resources and a vision to make these tools available in more languages.

Becoming Like Jesus with Cor Bennema

2026/10/27

David Capes talks with New Testament scholar Cornelius Bennema about his book Imitation in Early Christianity: Mimesis and Religious Ethical Formation. Bennema describes imitation as a creative, intentional process of choosing an example, discerning what is worth following, and applying it thoughtfully—not simply copying someone's actions. We explore how following Jesus can foster imitation, and how the Gospels present ethical examples through Jesus's teachings and actions. The conversation also traces imitation's roots in Greco-Roman culture and its role in Christian moral formation. · Watch this episode on YouTube.
