    1458. Patronage, Grace, and the World Behind the Gospel | Cultural Keys to Reading the New Testament

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 26, 2025 7:36


    In the first episode of our Cultural Keys to Reading the New Testament mini-series on the ProveText Podcast, Dr. T. Michael W. Halcomb introduces the patronage system—the social and economic backbone of the ancient Greco-Roman world.Patronage shaped everything from politics and economics to daily relationships of loyalty, honor, and obligation. It also shaped how early audiences heard words like grace, favor, and faith. Long before these became theological terms, they belonged to the language of debts, benefactors, and unequal power relationships.In this episode, Dr. Halcomb explores how the New Testament writers draw on patronage logic—and then radically transform it. Through examples like Luke 7 and Paul's use of charis, we see how the gospel both speaks within this system and subverts it, revealing a vision of grace that is lavish, undeserved, and life-transforming.Understanding the patronage system doesn't diminish the gospel—it magnifies it.#bible #biblestudy #culture #grace #faith #christian #podcast #religion #gospel #jesus #jesuschrist #christianity #christ #history #education #educational #educationalvideo #scripture #new ***GlossaHouse resources are available at our website! - https://glossahouse.com/✏️ ***Sign up for classes with GlossaHouse U - https://glossahouse.com/pages/classes
