Marty Solomon The Gospel of Being Human
In this episode, Jason sits down with BEMA Podcast host and author Marty Solomon for a wide-ranging conversation about Scripture, deconstruction, the cross, and the inherent goodness of being human. Marty shares how reading the Bible through its historical and Jewish context revealed a God who has always looked like Jesus—and why deconstruction, done well, is not about destroying faith but preserving something beautiful. Together, they explore nonviolent atonement, covenant as relationship rather than transaction, the problem with total depravity, and the hopeful truth at the heart of Marty’s new book, The Gospel of Being Human: our humanity isn’t something God wants us to escape; it’s something Jesus came to restore.
