In the 2018 AMC series The Terror, we encounter an ancient form of communication: the cairn. These stone markers held messages—records of a journey left behind for those who would follow. Explorers lived and died. What endured was the knowledge they preserved. Andrea draws a parallel with the Bible. Its authors remain unknown. They left no signatures. It is their words alone that continue to speak, generation after generation.

The Bible Does Not "Speak to Us Today"
Preachers and teachers of Bible are eager to tell us how the Bible "speaks to us today." But does it? How can it speak to us when we are not its addressees? It was written thousands of years ago in a particular place and time for its audience who lived at that time. This kind of talk reveals the way we use and abuse the biblical text to serve ourselves. We do not bring the Bible – an ancient text - to today. Instead, the student of the Bible must go back – must go back to the time, setting and culture in which the Bible was forged.
Andrea shares how city of London guide David Charnick captures this perspective in his study of Dickens’ famous 1843 novella A Christmas Carol.
