Fifty Shades Of Broken

There’s a lot of interesting posts coming out at the beginning of this year… 🙂

Back in September, I posted the Theology On Tap talk by Katie Patrizio on Sacred Scripture. Katie recently posted an article over at Impacting Culture and I wanted to share it here.

In her post, she talks about Unbroken, a movie which was released this Christmas about an olympic runner who ends up being incarcerated in a Japanese prisoner of war camp during World War Two. She then compares this story with the upcoming Fifty Shades of Grey movie which is based on the infamous book series about sadomasochism. These movies have more in common than you might think…

TOT: Crash Course In Sacred Scripture

KatieTheology On Tap was running last month and one of the speakers in this series was Katie Patrizio giving her talk entitled“A Crash Course through Sacred Scripture”.

As well as giving a brief tour through the books of the Bible, in her talk Katie traces the biblical narrative through the six major covenants of Salvation History. As she moves through each of the covenants she explains how the covenants built upon one another and all recapitulated and ultimately fulfilled in the words and actions of Christ.

Unfortunately, I had to cut some of the audio during the discussion with the audience because the audio quality was too poor. However, enough context is given in each answer to work out the other side of the conversation…

Katie has several more talks on her website that you might like to check out if you’d like to learn more about studying the Bible. She will also be completing her MA in Theology this week and has asked for your prayers!
