The Bible and the English Major: Recent Episodes
Maren Jo Schneider
The Bible is packed with dang good drama, bizarre ancient context, and surprisingly creative artistry, but that can all be hard to notice in a quick read. That’s where I, an enthusiastic English Major, come in. Taking a different angle every 2 weeks, we’ll approach a single relevant Bible story through a series of accessible 20-minute episodes. Then, because the best part of any good story is getting to talk about it with friends, I’ll invite a guest to come and chat about it. If you’re looking for a fresh take on stories you think you know, or you’re curious about how Biblical authors used things like irony, symbolism, and even humor to make a point, join the conversation!

We conclude this series on John 8 with a conversation with Dr. Jennifer Garcia Bashaw about her book, "Scapegoats, the Gospel through the Eyes of Victims." She helps us understand better ways to read the Bible and why English majors are the best. Those are her words, I promise!

Have you noticed Jesus' moves yet? He shows them off with the Pharisees and Teachers of the Law first. Then he repeats them for the accused woman. Individual results vary, but Jesus makes his point, and it's all about justice.

Noticing the Greek tragedy structure of this story shines a dramatic spotlight on its central theme. All the tragic goodness, including the crisis, climax, and fatal flaw, lies with the Pharisees and not with the woman, leaving the theme that usually distracts us backstage.

Historical interpretation has made the woman in this story the infamous star of the show. But when we do a little grammatical analysis, we see she functions far more like a prop for the Pharisees than a leading lady. How then, has she become the title character?

Of the privileged men in the Gospels, Jairus is one we can learn from. We're circling back to Mark's sandwich story of Jairus and the hemorrhaging woman because the theological meat in this story is not only faith but privilege. Who knew the Bible talked about such scandalous stuff?

Jairus, Nicodemus, and an unnamed lawyer all take their places in the Gospels to show us how blinding privilege can be. Wanna see Jesus? Look where he's looking: at the pain of the marginalized ones. For their own reasons, Mark, Luke, and John use the men to help us focus on the fringes.

Inspired by the Midrash of the ancient rabbis, Maren takes a crack at Biblical Fanfiction. What do you imagine the lawyer thought about Jesus' Good Samaritan parable? What if Martha heard it, too? And the bottom line question: can creativity can also be a tool in biblical interpretation? You decide.

Here's an advent message for you. My favorite name for Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us. I love that because there's such a message of grace and love in that name. God put aside all of the things that make God, God, to come and be with us in all of our mess.

Are we so familiar with the "good" Samaritan parable that we're too comfortable with it? Maren offers three readings that provoke the usual interpretation and point to the kingdom of God. Warning: the author has been walking around convicted for weeks. She hopes you'll join her.

A properly read parable has never caused a case of the warm fuzzies. Parables were meant to confuse and disturb, to help the audience question the ways of this world and engage in the counter-cultural kingdom of God. Find out how the lawyer, so certain of his righteousness, responds to a good tweaking.

Martha has suffered too long in her sister Mary's shadow. Let's compare her to the 70 followers Jesus sends out and the self-righteous lawyer also found in Luke 10. What light can a good character foil shine?

Are you Team Mary or Team Martha? Luke’s story about the two sisters has left scholars debating for centuries, leading to character analysis paralysis. Let’s get past the heroine/villain question to find out what Jesus’ “one needed thing” is. Hint: it’s not the bean dip.

An angelic tour guide takes the prophet, Ezekiel, on a trippy journey through a restored temple gushing with Living Water. John clearly digs the imagery because he uses it over six centuries later in his story of the Woman at the Well to reveal God's groovy side. Right on, Holy Spirit!

Gospel writer John knows a thing or two about romance. His Woman at the Well story contains the same juicy narrative elements as Rachel and Jacob's betrothal in Genesis 29. Scandalous, you say? Just like the extravagant love of God.

We conclude our series on Mark 5 with a conversation with Pastor Bobby Harrison from The Church We Hope For. He shares the story of his dismantling journey toward advocating for justice and equity in the church, tells a great story about his son as a framework for seeking God wholeheartedly, and explains how he relates to Jairus. Then he turns the tables on Maren to find out why she's doing all of this, anyway.

How do we best understand the Pharisees and scribes in the Gospel of Mark from a literary point of view? And what does the juxtaposition of one of their own with a desperate, bleeding woman tell us about taking risks, faith, and healing?

We begin to see the author of the Gospel of Mark is quite a genius. He makes Mark 5:21-43 into a yummy literary sandwich full of plot twists, juxtaposition, and faith. We'll also touch on biblical interpretation, the inerrancy of the Bible, and whether art can show us things science cannot.

What could women in the Bible have to say to the ancient historian Pliny the Elder? Probably quite a lot, as long as they aren't bleeding. Here's some historical context to help us understand the immense faith required of a desperate woman who must ask the question, "What do I do when my religion is killing me?"
