Just the Bible today.

Intro:

For those of you who are newer to the program, the one way I modify the reading plan from The Bible Project is that we read through Psalms one time during the year instead of 2.5 times. And because the amount of reading they assign varies quite a lot — a lot of the readings in the Old Testament are much longer than in the New — I cover a lot more of Psalms in the fall when we’re going through the New Testament. And today we’re going to get to Psalm 104 which is a little longer, so we’ll just focus on the Bible today.

That said, in today’s reading you’ll hear Paul make a speech to a mob, and he starts it by telling them he’s going to make a defense — an apologia, an apologetic. I just point this out, because as Christian casemakers I think it’s useful for us to see how a master apologist handles himself, including the way his reasoning and persuasion evolves depending on who he’s addressing.
