Het Nederlands-Vlaams Bijbelgenootschap is begonnen met een nieuwe podcastserie Faith Across Borders waarin de luisteraar ontdekt hoe cultuur onze manier van Bijbellezen beïnvloedt, en hoe we daarin van elkaar kunnen leren. De introductie op deze Engelstalige podcast luidt:
Faith Across Borders is a podcast series by the Netherlands-Flemish Bijbelgenootschap in which Bible passages around different themes take center stage. Guests from diverse cultural backgrounds explore how these texts are read, interpreted, and lived out in their own contexts. In this way, the series reveals how the Bible speaks across boundaries of language, nation, and culture—and how different perspectives can deepen and enrich your own reading.
First episode

In this episode of Faith Across Borders, two pastors one from Ghana and one from China explore how cultural background shapes the way we read and understand the Bible.
What seems clear in one culture may feel completely different in another. And that changes how we hear Jesus’ words.Discover how reading the Bible across cultures can deepen your understanding of Scripture.
