Episode 66: Jubilees Part 2 - The Wisdom and Strength of Women
2026/10/29
Why did Genesis 6 not elaborate on the fallen angels? Why did Jews fight about having a solar vs lunar calendar? Why are the numbers we see in scripture so important? Why doesn’t God just MAKE us obey? Were Adam and Eve an allegory? What do the wisdom of women, the Lord’s Supper, and circumcision have to do with Genesis and Jubilees? And what does that mean for us today? This week's song is “God Girl” by Jamie Grace:  https://music.apple.com/us/album/god-girl/1533119597?i=1533119612 Listen To Our Playlist:  https://lovedoneright.org/music-playlist Links to books we will use this season: https://a.co/d/0aHjNtQ1 1 Enoch: The Hermeneia Translation https://a.co/d/0eYNMpVp Jubilees: The Hermeneia Translation https://a.co/d/0frqpJdh Apostolic Fathers Volume I, Didache, Greek and English side by side https://a.co/d/0h8kxaAo Apostolic Fathers Volume II, Epistle of Barnabas, Shepherd of Hermas, Greek and English side by side For the Book of Wisdom, just get any Catholic Bible Show Notes: Click HERE for a list of scripture and helpful resources used in this episode.  https://lovedoneright.org/resources Other Helpful Links: https://lovedoneright.org/ https://www.blueletterbible.org/
Episode 65: Jubilees Part 1 - Equality in the Eyes of God - The Sabbath
2026/10/22
What does equality look like in the eyes of God? What mindset do you need to have before reading books like Jubilees? What do we need to remember about how language is used? What did the author of Jubilees mean when he wrote that Adam and Eve “Covered their shame?” Why do modern Evangelicals believe Jubilees should not be included in our canon? What did the “Sabbaths” of the Bible really symbolize? And what does that have to do with “six-seven?” This week's song is “Giving In” by Savannah Locke:  https://music.apple.com/us/album/giving-in/6810419994?i=6810419996 Listen To Our Playlist:  https://lovedoneright.org/music-playlist Links to books we will use this season: https://a.co/d/0aHjNtQ1 1 Enoch: The Hermeneia Translation https://a.co/d/0eYNMpVp Jubilees: The Hermeneia Translation https://a.co/d/0frqpJdh Apostolic Fathers Volume I, Didache, Greek and English side by side https://a.co/d/0h8kxaAo Apostolic Fathers Volume II, Epistle of Barnabas, Shepherd of Hermas, Greek and English side by side For the Book of Wisdom, just get any Catholic Bible Show Notes: Click HERE for a list of scripture and helpful resources used in this episode.  https://lovedoneright.org/resources Other Helpful Links: https://lovedoneright.org/ https://www.blueletterbible.org/
