NB: Mt. 27 agrees with Jackie's "scarlet", Mk. 15 and Jn. 19 John's "purple". This is because Tyrian is reddish-purple. (The word Matthew uses often refers to Crimson, which is obtained from an insect, rather than a snail.)

Story / Symbol / Spirit is a podcast about how to make sense of Scripture. The Bible is a beautiful gift from God with the power to help us know God and better understand our lives, identity, meaning, and purpose. But for many people, reading the Bible is difficult. The ancient and confusing nature of the stories within the Bible are often prohibitive to our engagement and learning. How can we make sense of the Scriptures?
We believe that Story / Symbol / Spirit is a helpful framework to begin this journey.
