Dave Nienhuis – And the Sea Was No More

‘When panic attacks shattered his world, leaving him drowning in a chaos he couldn’t name, biblical scholar Dave Nienhuis discovered something unexpected.  Scripture itself offered language for his anguish.  The Bible’s recurring image of the catastrophic Deep – the watery chaos that threatens to overwhelm – spoke for him when he had no words of his own’.

Brent talks to Dave Nienhuis about his new Eerdman’s book ‘And the Sea Was No More: Reading the Bible in the Deep’.

Dave is professor of New Testament studies at Seattle Pacific Seminary.  He has authored and edited several books. 

(1:00) The panic attacks; (6:30) The deep and chaos; (10:40) Job; (12:00) Jesus and the deep; (14:30) Revelation; (17:15) Suffering and the Christian life; (22:00) Finding God in suffering.
