The GodPod:
Frequently Played Stories in the Bible
Spring Semester 2008
Thursday, 1 pm – 1:45, Thurmond Chapel
Think of the Bible as an iPod, a GodPod if you will – a library of stories from different composers, reflecting different genres and expressing diff erent moods. If you scrolled through the stories of the Bible, which ones would find a spot on the “Most Played” list? Which would you return to when you’re “On-The-Go”? Which stories, in their telling and retelling, have demonstrated their greatness over time?
This semester in chapel, we will ‘listen” to some of the greatest hits of the Bible, the stories which have stayed alive through the ages, capturing the imagination of many and stretching the landscape of the mind and heart. Along the way, we’ll meet some unforgettable characters and explore some memorable stories such as Jacob’s all-nighter, Joseph’s series of tragic and unfortunate events, David’s spring fling, the beauty queen’s quick wit and the prodigal son’s road trip. Additionally, we’ll consider how our own stories connect with those which have been passeddown.
