The Biblical Roots Podcast
This is a Bible-based, Christ-focused theology and apologetics podcast hosted by Professor R. L. Solberg. We talk theology and apologetics, test the claims of questionable teachers, and offer a range of Bible teachings, including verse-by-verse Bible studies.
The Biblical Roots Ministries is all about helping believers stay grounded in the truth of Scripture. Founded by Professor R. L. Solberg, our Christ-centered ministry is dedicated to creating faithful, Bible-based content that deepens your understanding of God’s Word and equips you to discern false teachings. We do this in two ways:
1. Dismantling false teachings – We take a systematic approach to breaking down ideas that challenge the sufficiency of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5), clearing away myths and misconceptions so believers can stand firm in the truth.
2. Building biblical literacy – Through Bible studies and teachings on biblical theology, interpretation (hermeneutics), and Bible history, we help believers dive deeper into Scripture and better understand it in its proper context.

The New Has Come, The Old Is Gone: Hebrews 8 (Part 11)
Hebrews Chapter 8 contains the deepest discussion in all of the NT about the new covenant, and the longest OT quote (from Jeremiah 31:31-34). And this is also where the author of Hebrews makes a pivotal turn in the argument he is developing. One of the reasons Hebrew 8 is so significant is because it’s the only place in the entire New Testament where we find the language of a “first” and “second” covenant, and an old and a new covenant.
