40 Minutes In The Old Testament

Digging into ancient texts can feel like an academic exercise, but 40 Minutes In The Old Testament approaches it as a living, breathing conversation. Hosts Chad Bird and Daniel Emery Price sit down each week for a focused, forty-minute discussion that feels less like a lecture and more like you’ve pulled up a chair between two friends who are deeply fascinated by scripture. Their central pursuit is uncovering the threads of Christ’s story woven throughout the Old Testament, moving beyond history lessons to connect these foundational books to the heart of Christian faith. This isn't about quick moral takeaways; it's a deliberate, thoughtful excavation of context, language, and theology designed to make these often-complex writings accessible and relevant. Listeners will hear a dynamic exchange of ideas, with the hosts parsing passages, exploring cultural backgrounds, and engaging with scholarly perspectives-all while maintaining a tone that is both reverent and warmly conversational. The rhythm of this podcast is consistent and immersive, offering a substantive weekly dive that respects your time while deeply enriching your understanding. Produced by 1517 Podcasts, it serves as a valuable resource for anyone curious about the spiritual continuity of the Bible, from Genesis onward, and how the old narratives powerfully point forward.
