In the Interpreter's Workshop
Exegetical and theological reflections to read the Bible with rigor and reverence.
Do You Live Under the Shadow of the Almighty?
In times of uncertainty —when human fragility becomes evident through illness, violence, crisis, or unexpected losses— one of the most repeated verses from Psalm 91 often resonates powerfully:
To Know Him is to Trust Him
In God we can fully trust. If we know Him, we will trust Him spontaneously. If we do not know Him, we will distrust Him.
The Bible was written by men
"The Bible was written by men." That is what my daughter Daniela told me during an interesting conversation. In any case, it is what agnostics, skeptics, and opponents of this book say.
The Battle of Faith
What does the battle of faith consist of? Paul speaks about it: “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold of eternal life” If you fight the battle of faith with all your energy, you will have no strength left for anything else.
Adam Was Not Immortal
Adam was not immortal; his life depended on God and the tree of life in Eden. By eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam and Eve chose death and evil.
