Thank you!

Excellent. Sad to see just a handful of views. I was blessed through this teaching.

Most valuable. I really appreciate the added context.

So, when Ezekiel says to give the alien inheritance, Nehemiah is disobeying a direct order by God when he forced the Israelites to divorce their nonIsraelite wives and make them take their children and leave. I knew God didn’t like it, but I didn’t realize that he was going against an exact order.

The parable at the end (the one before salt & light). My my my incredible. I’ll never read it the same way again.

There is a major glitch in the middle of this first clip. Otherwise this is another beautiful study.

Because Jesus was addressing the Pharisees in the John 10 passage, I was thinking the wolf was the evil one.

The wolf is Rome?

The Iranian Bishop’s prayer made me cry. Wow. Jesus shines through that man. Bless their family-whoever is still walking this earth from them.

This is incredible. I want to listen to this again and take notes. If I come across a Jew, this would be very impactful. Jesus is the Messiah ❤️❤️❤️

This blew my mind. Jesus was saying “I am God” when He called Himself the Good Shepherd!!! Wow, just incredible. Love and holiness. Wonderful teaching

I appreciate you sharing and adding more context to Dr. Bailey's life and teachings. The times we are in provide for few who are as committed, and yet we need inspiration and personal testimony more than ever.

Obtaining these documents is the problem that Bailey attempted to address. They are available to scholars in Egypt, but they are written in Arabic and there are few translations available in English. Therefore, Bailey urged that scholar create a new field of study that he called Arabic Patristics. This will involve years of effort to publish the original documents and then to publish translations so that they will be available to the broadest possible audience.

Interesting observeration about Ken Bailey's reinterpretation of the parables. I agree interpretations are radical, in the sense of going back to the original meaning. His interpretations are also colorful, highly engaging, and orthodox. His books really preach!

Wow. What a rare gem of experiences. His preaching reflected that. I didn’t know any of this about him.

I’m glad to see someone discussing Kenneth Bailey’s work. His videos are making such a massive impact on me.

Where can we get/read/see these translations the centers did?

I love how he calls the book a “novel” rather than give it some sort of status it doesn’t deserve.

Wow. His teachings astound me.

Love this, however, Bathsheba was not in the backyard. It doesn’t ever say that. It just says she was bathing. David was on the roof. Could’ve been in her house, or even one of the public pools and fully clothed. Learned that in college. I used to think she was bathing on the roof. Nope, check me on this too. This guy is still my favorite pastor on all of UA-cam. Utmost respect! I’ve never learned so much about stories I thought I knew well.

This explained some verses I never understood.

If the sheperd is bad the sheeps get killed by wolves , if the sheperd is good the sheeps get killed / eaten by men. Either way, it does not end up well for the sheeps ...

Faith, Hope, Love

Such insightful teaching. I am thankful for Dr. Bailey’s overview of the Middle Eastern culture.

I’m so blessed to have found Dr Bailey! Thank you for your service to the body of Christ sir

thank-you so much for posting more of Dr. Bailey. These are such an inspiration and so timely and yet timeless.

This is why God gave us the internet. His word travels fast and free.

Is this approach the same as "Functional exegesis"? In Belgium there was a catholic priest named A. Ory with periodical newsletters titled Functional Exegesis (in Dutch). Just a question. Very interesting videoserie, btw.

It's just beautiful to hear this lectures. I'm from Chile and has been a great blessing to hear and Watch brother Bailey's lectures. Please keep uploading brother Bailey's lectures!

Thank you for uploading these! I love hearing Dr Bailey's perspective. It's so much more informed and nuanced compared to the modern Christianity channels on UA-cam. ❤

Thank you

Dive deep into the New Testament's portrayal of women from a Middle Eastern perspective! This enlightening video explores the roles, rights, and representation of women in the early Christian church. 🔍 **Key Highlights:** 1. **Galatians 3:28** - A central text emphasizing equality in Christ, suggesting there's no distinction between Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female. 2. **Women as Disciples** - Discover how Jesus had women disciples, revealing primary themes to female audiences. 3. **Prominent Biblical Women** - From Phoebe the deaconess to Lydia, Priscilla, and the Virgin Mary, learn about the influential women who shaped early Christianity. 4. **Controversial Texts** - Delve into the debated passages like 1 Corinthians 11 & 14 and 1 Timothy 2, which seem to suggest different roles for women. 5. **Theological Insights** - Understand the use of male and female imagery in the Bible to enrich our comprehension of God. Join this captivating journey as the speaker navigates the complexities of biblical texts, offering fresh insights and challenging traditional interpretations. Whether you're a scholar, a believer, or just curious, this video will provide a nuanced understanding of women's place in the New Testament.

The video features a detailed discussion on certain biblical passages and their interpretations, particularly focusing on the roles and treatment of women in the early Christian church. Here's a summary: 1. **Corinthian Church Issues**: - The Corinthians were a challenging group, consisting of people from various backgrounds, including former immoral individuals, idolaters, adulterers, and more. - The church in Corinth faced issues of disorder during services, with many speaking simultaneously, leading to confusion. 2. **Women's Role in Worship**: - The speaker discusses the passage from 1 Corinthians 14, where Paul addresses the behavior of women in church. The interpretation suggests that Paul's instruction for women to remain silent was specific to the Corinthian context, where women were causing disruptions by asking numerous questions during services. Paul's advice was for them to seek answers at home from their husbands to maintain order during worship. - The speaker emphasizes that this instruction was not a universal mandate for all women but was specific to the situation in Corinth. 3. **Ephesus and Gnostic Heresy**: - Timothy was sent to Ephesus, a city where the primary religion was led by women and centered around the goddess Artemis. - The Christian community in Ephesus faced challenges from the Gnostic heresy. This heresy suggested that physical existence was evil, which could have implications on views about childbirth and marriage. - The speaker suggests that certain passages in 1 Timothy, often seen as restrictive to women, were addressing specific heretical teachings in Ephesus and not making broad statements about women's roles in the church. 4. **Paul's Interactions with Women**: - The speaker highlights Paul's positive interactions with women, such as Lydia in Philippi. Paul's willingness to suffer and use his Roman citizenship to protect the Christian community, which met in Lydia's house, is emphasized. - The speaker argues that Paul's actions demonstrate his respect and acknowledgment of women's roles in the early church. 5. **Conclusion**: - The speaker encourages a contextual understanding of biblical passages. By considering the historical and cultural backdrop, one can better grasp the intended message and avoid misinterpretations. Throughout the video, the speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context when interpreting biblical passages, especially those concerning gender roles and women's participation in the church.

Use that in your description, if you want.

The video discusses various pitfalls and errors in interpreting the Bible. Here are the seven deadly sins of biblical interpretation as extracted from the video: 1. **Allegorical Interpretation**: This method began around the 2nd century and continued until the Reformation. It involves interpreting the Bible's stories as allegories, where elements of the story symbolize deeper truths. This method can lead to misinterpretations, as it often superimposes one's own ideas onto the scripture rather than letting the text speak for itself. 2. **Blink On, Blink Off Method**: This approach suggests that the ancient authors of the Bible wrote something, and its meaning "blinked off" immediately. The true meaning, according to this method, only "blinks on" or becomes clear thousands of years later. This method is problematic as it assumes that the original authors and their immediate audience couldn't understand the text's true meaning. 3. **Cut and Paste Method**: This involves taking verses out of context, cutting and rearranging them to fit a particular interpretation or agenda. This method can lead to a skewed understanding of the scripture. 4. **Electrical Shock Theory**: This method involves reading the Bible and being moved by what one reads without considering the original context or intent of the author. It's about letting one's feelings dictate the interpretation rather than understanding the historical and cultural context. 5. **Historical Interpretation**: This method emphasizes understanding the historical context in which the Bible was written. While it's essential to consider the historical context, relying solely on this method can lead to missing the broader spiritual and theological messages of the scripture. 6. **Authoritative Interpretation**: This approach involves relying on an authoritative interpretation alongside the scripture. While this can provide clarity, it can also lead to a narrow understanding if one doesn't consider multiple perspectives. 7. **Symbols vs. Allegories**: The video emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between symbols and allegories in the Bible. Symbols are elements that the original audience would instinctively identify, while allegories are more complex interpretations that might not align with the original intent. It's essential to approach biblical interpretation with an open mind, considering the historical, cultural, and linguistic context, and being wary of these pitfalls.

Another insightful teaching by Ken Bailey.

Another great teaching by our friend dr. Kenneth Bailey thanks

I have been a believer for over 30 years, I can honestly say I have never heard anyone even suggest the scriptures need to be re-written to include language that would be "female-friendly." Just saying!

There are still questions in my head that remained unanswered while watching this video.

Thank you

I wish he had taught on 1 Corinthians 14:34 a little more in depth, in particular, the part that says "as the law also says." Why would Paul say that women were under the law in a public church gathering? That doesn't seem like something he would say as that would be in reference to Jewish law. He knew that women were not under the law so how could he possibly be saying this himself? I have heard this verse translated best to say that Paul is responding to someone that has made this assertion to him and he is basically refuting this as an ignorant position to take (see vs 38).

Thank you !

Thank you for uploading these video series. Where can I get all the works of Prof. Ken Bailey🥰 I long to continue his legacy as a missionary in the Moslem World. God has called me to serving voluntarily in the Middle East➡️ as a missionary for the next 30 years of my life. His book, Jesus Through the Middle Eastern Eyes remains an indispensable resource. Shukran!❤️

I have learned so much from this man over the years ..

Dr Kenneth's teaching is always so refreshing. A blessing from God to be able to watch it at this time

Thank you for the upload. Very edifying. God's word was so refreshingly explained.

Thank you for the upload. Excellent detailed explanation

Excellent. Thank you!

For the same reason I would never say to Tiger Woods' face that I think he is a great golfer, because by doing so would beg the question, "What's your average score on the PGA Tour?" That answer would reveal my qualification as a critic. I with all humility can tell you that Dr. Kenneth E. Bailey has been a tremendous asset to me in understanding the culture Jesus was raised, educated, and preached within, therefore having enhanced the context and meaning that I have missed when I've attempted to retrofit His Christology into our 21st century socio-political understanding and meanings. I can also say with personal knowledge that the Christian organizations alone that have his various videos in their libraries are both numerous and diverse in their theological emphasis and worldwide geographical locations.
