Podcast Interview on UnBelief
Ourisman and Jeremy Steele, The Skeptic Paster
Last week, Dr. David Oursiman, author of “One Life Four Stories: Invitations to Faith & Wonder,” sat down with Jeremy Steele on his Unbelief Podcast.
Steele titles the conversation about Ourisman’s new book “The Bible doesn’t have on Jesus. It has four.”
This cuts right to the heart of “One Life, Four Stories” and what most of us were never taught, says Ourisman.
Jeremy frames it this way: “Most of us were handed a ‘cookie-cutter Jesus’ – a single, polished version that conveniently fits our theology. The problem? That Jesus doesn’t actually exist in the text. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are telling very different stories for very different reasons – and flattening them might be the thing that’s been holding you back from actually understanding them.”
If you’ve ever been curious about why the gospels tell such different stories, the full conversation is worth a listen.
Join the Conversation with the Four Writers of the Gospels
In this fresh, insightful new book – One Life, Four Stories – Ourisman takes readers with him on an exploration of how the four gospel stories are different, where their plots vary and how the same characters are portrayed in various ways.
