Bible Study for Progressives: Rooted in Scripture, Committed to Justice
Bible Study for Progressives is a podcast and resource hub created for Christians who seek a deep and historically grounded understanding of scripture—One that aligns with the biblical themes of justice and compassion. In a time when faith is too often co-opted by political forces promoting division and exclusion, Bible Study for Progressives offers an alternative path informed by scriptural wisdom and historical scholarship.
This program delivers Bible lessons based on credible historical scholarship and theological thinking. Rather than cherry-picking verses to fit political agendas, we explore the context and deeper meanings behind scripture, offering interpretations that reflect the radical teachings of Jesus—teachings that challenge systems of power, uplift the poor and marginalized, and call us into community and action.
At its core, Bible Study for Progressives is a platform designed to energize and empower liberal and progressive Christians. It invites listeners to connect their faith with their advocacy, building a theology that supports social justice movements and encourages bold action. We discuss controversial issues through the dual lenses of faith and reason.
In addition to exploring scripture, the podcast actively challenges harmful, anti-Christian propaganda and other distortions of scripture. We speak directly to the divisive disinformation and fear-mongering that too often defines public perceptions of Christianity. By doing so, Bible Study for Progressives seeks to build a liberal political theology to enliven and energize progressive Christian activism.
This space is for those who believe our faith calls us to action. Whether you’re deeply involved in activism, rethinking your relationship with the church, or just looking for a new way to engage with scripture, you’ll find thoughtful, honest, and relevant conversations here.
Join us as we build a faith that speaks to today’s challenges and tomorrow’s possibilities. Bible Study for Progressives isn’t just about learning—it’s about transforming how we live out our faith in the world.
