Rachel Held Evans interview with Pete Enns
For those of you who listen to podcasts, I found this gem of an interview of Rachel Held Evans on "The Bible For Normal People" podcast by Pete Enns: Unraveling & Re-raveling the Bible.
Honestly, this whole podcast looks like it's full of interviews with interesting people. Here are links to their interviews with several familiar voices:
Brian Zahnd: Violence in the Bible and What to Do With It
Greg Boyd: Jesus and Divine Violence
Jen Hatmaker: Changing Your Mind About the Bible
Brian McLaren: The Bible as a Weapon
William Paul Young (author of The Shack): Reimagining the God of the Bible

From the website:
If the Bible isn’t a science book, instruction manual, or position paper, then what is it? New York Times bestselling author Rachel Held Evans invites readers on a journey of rediscovery as she explores the magic of the Bible, engaging the old, familiar stories in new ways that honor the past and enlighten the present.
Drawing upon recent scholarship and literary analysis, Evans creatively retells our favorite Bible stories, explaining their contexts and possible interpretations, and then connects these ancient stories to our present-day ones. Using her well-honed literary instincts and experience in both evangelical and mainline Protestant traditions, Evans discovers a way of understanding that avoids noncommittal liberalism on one hand and strident literalism on the other.
