Summary

Welcome to the official start of the Bible in a Year Podcast! We'll begin reading the Bible in the episode "Day 1: In the Beginning", but before we dig into scripture, Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike Schmitz to lay out the context for the Early World period (Genesis 1-11). They discuss the type of scripture we'll encounter (Hebrew poetry) and how that affects our understanding of the Word. This episode is not part of the 365 day reading plan, but is important to help understand the readings from this period.

0:00.0	Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we
0:07.9	encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is
0:12.4	brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way
0:17.0	from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today.
0:22.9	Welcome to the official start of the Bible in the air podcast.
0:25.9	Today, this is the day that we begin our journey
0:29.3	where we read through the entire Bible
0:31.4	in 365 days.
0:34.8	But before we begin with day one,

0:40.0	of the Great Adventure of Bible timeline. So, as you probably already know, what we'll be following
0:45.0	over the course of this entire year, 365 days, is the Great Adventure Bible Timeline. And the
0:51.3	person who created this is the renowned Catholic Bible teacher, Mr. Jeff Kavins,
0:56.2	to give you an introduction to the early world. This is going to be so important. This episode
0:59.9	is going to be very important as we launch into the early world, which is the very first time
1:04.0	period of the Great Adventure Bible timeline. So as you know, the reading plan that we're using,
1:09.1	it's inspired by this Great Adventure Bible timeline,
1:11.5	which divides the Bible into 12 time periods. And if you have the Great Adventure Bible,
1:17.3	those time periods are identified by different colors and which serve kind of like as chapters
1:21.9	in salvation history. So every time we arrive at a new time period in the Bible, we're going
1:26.9	to be able to have Jeff on this podcast
1:28.7	to give you an introduction to that period.
