The World's Last Night

Angels are sent to destroy Sodom and basically everyone else in the chapter acts absolutely nuts. We have to talk about rape, homosexuality, incest, and more in this episode.

Abraham negotiates with God over the destruction of cities, and Sarah is told she'll bear a child even though she is way past fertility.

24 years later God reveals the details of His covenant with Abram, and the next bread crumb that will lead us back to Eden is found.

The First Covenant gets established and God definitely gets the short end of the stick - necessarily if we are to be saved. Sarai makes a rash decision, and Hagar is seen by her Lord.

Lot is swept up in a war and Abram sets out to rescue him. Later, a mysterious priest shows up to bless Abram.

Abram is called by God and is promised children even though his wife is barren. We talk a little Philosophy - Kantianism and Utilitarianism - as Abram shows cowardice in Egypt.

Mankind disobeys God by building up Babylon, while Seth's descendents will bring about Abraham - one of the most prolific figures in religious history.

God makes a covenant and establishes mankind's intrinsic value, while Noah perhaps makes a rash curse.

Noah's flood teaches us that the God who gave the "breath of life" also has the right to take it back - and will, if we squander it.

A man doesn't experience death, while an entire world is threaten with extinction. We read about Noah and discuss the difficult implications of a Just God.

Ch. 4 brings us the first murderer, and also the first serial killer. How fast the world devolves for our protagonists when separated from God!

In Ch. 3 things go to hell in a handbasket for our protagonists as they are tricked by a villain for the first time and have to deal with the consequences.

Genesis chapter 2 brings in two new characters for us to follow and sets the stage for a harrowing drama.

James reads chapter 1 of Genesis and gets to chat about topics ranging from the scientific formation of the Earth, to the Cosmological argument for the existence of God to the Trinity, and more!
