Is The Bible Relevant Or Does It Need Our Help?

In this week's episode, Ryan and Brian talk about the relevancy of the Bible. One of our listeners asked us about a book called "How the Bible Actually Works" by Peter Enns. So, Ryan and Brian take a look at the claims of the book, what they agree and disagree with, and what the means for everyone reading the Bible today. Here are some alternative books to read if you are interested in the topic: How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth: Fourth Edition : https://amzn.to/3AcbDL8 The Lost World of Scripture: Ancient Literary Culture and Biblical Authority : https://amzn.to/3nBqJo7 Support the Bistro: https://www.patreon.com/thebiblebistro

Ryan Sarver

Ryan was a student of Brian’s at Lincoln Christian College almost twenty years ago — not a good student, but a student nonetheless. He graduated with a degree in worship ministry and worked in the local church for several years. Now, Ryan owns and operates a video production and marketing company, telling stories for non-profits and businesses.

Ryan loves reading books on theology and engaging in conversations. He and his wife, Lauren, share two children and live in the Indianapolis area. One of his claims-to-fame is making the best popcorn ever — just ask his kids.

Ryan’s favorite movie is The Tree of Life. He enjoys all kinds of ethnic foods, as well as pour-over coffee — keep your K-cups to yourself 🙂
