Nomad, Christian Community, Mission and the Future of the Church.

Welcome back to Nomad podcast. My name's Tim Nash. Dave Ward will be joining us, hopefully, in time for the

interview. He's just finishing off a horse somewhere and then he's going to be high tailing it down here.

And we're going to be meeting up with Robin Perry, who we've had on the show before. You might

remember an episode we did with him called A Hope in Hell, Cracking episode, and he did a Christmas

reflection for us as well,

a universalist's Christmas. But today we're going to be talking about the biblical cosmos.

Now, I know what you're thinking, that doesn't sound particularly interesting, but trust me,

it really is. It's how the ancient people, the biblical authors, understood the cosmos, the world, the universe, the planets, the stars, all that kind of stuff.

What sort of world did they live in?

And trust me, it's a very different world from the world that we understand now.

So what does that mean for the way we understand the Bible?

And what does that mean for the way we apply the Bible to the

world that we live in now really really fascinating stuff as always from Robin Perry so I'm just

going to sit here in my car waiting for Wardo to turn up and then we're going to pop in and have a chat

with Robin Perry.

So Robin, welcome back to the Nomad podcast.

Oh, thank you.

How would you just like to say why you're here?

I'm here because this is my house. Why are you here?

We're here to interview.

Yeah, so what I work as an editor for a publisher in America called Wipf and Stock, which is, goodness knows why they called it then, because it's unpronounceable.
