Simon Perry, a Biblical Scholar and Chaplain at the University of Cambridge, claims that if you cannot hear Jesus fart, you cannot hear his biblical voice. By focusing on the vulgarity of the historical Jesus, Perry alerts the listener to a radical Jewish voice that history has sought to silence.

When the smoke has cleared, the Jesus left standing is revealed as a dangerous political, economic, and ideological threat to the imperial machinery of his day and ours.

When it comes to the Sabbath, Christians have different ideas on what it means and how to observe it. For many people, it is a day to go to church and have fellowship with other believers. What they often miss, though, is that the Sabbath is intricately tied to rest and worship―both of which ultimately point to the Lord as our creator and redeemer. In this addition to the Short Studies in Biblical Theology series, Guy Prentiss Waters offers an introductory study of the Sabbath from the creation of the world to the consummation of all things when Jesus returns.
