Start Here: Introduction to the Early World (with Jeff Cavins) (2025)

Welcome to the official start of the Bible in a Year Podcast! We'll
begin reading the Bible in the episode "Day 1: In the Beginning",
but before we dig into scripture, Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike
Schmitz to lay out the context for the Early World period (Genesis
1-11). They discuss the type of scripture we'll encounter (Hebrew
poetry) and how that affects our understanding of the Word. This
episode is not part of the 365 day reading plan, but is important
to help understand the readings from this period. For the complete
reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note:
The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for
children - parental discretion is advised.
