Summary

Congratulations, you've completed the Early World period! As we journey into the Patriarchs period, Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to set the scene. They discuss the themes of Genesis 12-50, how it differs from the first 11 chapters of Genesis, and how it slowly reveals God's plan to redeem mankind.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast,
0:07.4	where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture.
0:10.9	The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension.
0:14.2	Using the great adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation,
0:19.1	discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and
0:20.9	how we fit into that story today. This is at the next page of the next stage, next time period

1:13.1	opportunity to have some context for the patriarchs this time period, once again, we are honored
1:18.9	to have Jeff Kavins back. Jeff Kavins is the individual who created the Great Adventure
1:23.1	Bible timeline as well as the Great Adventure Bible Study, which again, as I've said many times,
1:28.1	but I will not stop saying it because it was so important to me, so influential for me,
1:32.3	that when I finally heard Jeff teaching about the Great Adventure Bible timeline, so we have
1:37.8	all these narrative books, these 14 narrative books, and understanding these time periods
1:42.8	and how the other books fit into the context,
