The Skeptical Disciple

Reading the Jewish Bible! Genesis: 11-20

My study of Judaism begins with an English translation of the Tanakh (the Jewish Bible). I’m not making an audio book so expect some stuttering, stammering, and mispronunciations. I’m also commenting on points of interest as I come across them. I appreciate any feedback you may have while I work my way through it. For anyone interested this is the translation I am reading: https://amzn.to/3KkJef7 Thanks for swimming in these deep waters with me! Join in the conversation!

The Quran: in English and in Order Chapters 41-45

This is the 3rd installment of my reading the Quran / Qur'an / Koran in chronological order (the order the suras were revealed to Muhammad). After trying multiple english translations I found that I couldn't follow it well without the context that you get with it in proper order. I found an outstanding translation given in the order of revelation. I HIGHLY recommend Jason Criss Howk's The Qur'an: A Chronological Modern English Interpretation for both those who are unfamiliar with Islam, and for Muslims who don't speak Arabic so they can read the words for themselves. You can find it at https://oldstonepress.com/library/quran/ .I'm doing this to learn the truth about the religion itself. I'm not claiming the words to be truth or fiction. Expect a bit of stuttering, stumbling, and mispronunciations as this isn't sponsored by anyone and a perfect "audio book" reading would be quite time consuming lolJoin in the conversation!New Finding My God Discord: https://discord.gg/7U7kZZdPyS0:36 Chapter 41 (One of the prophet's names)8:56 Chapter 42 (The Criterion)18:55 Chapter 43 (The Originator of Angels)26:43 Chapter 44 (Mary)37:57 Chapter 45 (Ta Ha)
