The Epistle of Barnabas is one of the earliest Christian writings outside the New Testament, offering a glimpse into how believers shortly after the apostolic age understood Scripture, Jesus, and the Christian life.In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff and Tiffany explore what the Epistle of Barnabas is and why the early church valued this document without recognizing it as Scripture. The letter reads the Old Testament through the lens of Christ, why Jesus is the fulfillment and center of God's story, and how the “way of light” and the “way of darkness” remind believers that following Christ is not only about knowing truth, but walking in it.Chapters:00:50 Introduction to the Epistle of BarnabasThe Epistle of Barnabas is an early Christian document that offers insight into how believers shortly after the New Testament period understood Scripture, Jesus, and the relationship between Christianity and Judaism.01:35 Who Was Barnabas?The name Barnabas often points people to Paul's companion in Acts, but the letter itself does not identify its author.02:45 When Was the Epistle of Barnabas Written?Many scholars date the letter sometime after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD and before Hadrian's rebuilding of Jerusalem in the early 130s AD.04:45 Why the Letter Is Not ScriptureThe early church valued the Epistle of Barnabas, but eventually recognized it as helpful Christian literature rather than part of the New Testament canon.06:30 Seeing Jesus in the Old TestamentThe letter reads the Old Testament in light of Jesus and presents Christ as the fulfillment and center of Scripture.08:00 Allegorical Interpretation in the Early ChurchAllegorical interpretation looks beyond the immediate event to see a deeper spiritual meaning, especially in Old Testament stories understood as pointing to Christ.11:15 The Way of Light and the Way of DarknessThe letter presents humanity as walking one of two paths: the way of light or the way of darkness. Following Jesus means walking in the way of light.14:30 Why the Epistle of Barnabas Still MattersThis ancient document reminds believers to see the whole Bible as pointing to Jesus and to let God's truth shape their choices, habits, and character.“The Epistle of Barnabas is an early Christian writing that gives us a window into how some believers shortly after the New Testament period were thinking about scripture, Jesus, and specifically the relationship between Christianity and Judaism.” – Pastor Jeff CranstonSources: Background on the Epistle of Barnabas: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistle_of_BarnabasRead the Epistle of Barnabas: https://dn760005.eu.archive.org/0/items/epistleofbarnaba00barn/epistleofbarnaba00barn.pdf

In this Bible study, Joe Costandy explores the allegorical interpretation of Old Testament feasts, focusing on the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of first fruits, and the feast of weeks (Pentecost). Joe explains the three layers of scriptural interpretation: literal, moral, and spiritual, highlighting how the Church Fathers saw Christ foreshadowed in Old Testament events. He unpacks the Passover lamb as a symbol of Christ's crucifixion and connects the feast of first fruits to the resurrection, while Pentecost represents the coming of the Holy Spirit and the maturity of the Church. Joe also discusses the significance of symbols like unleavened bread as purity and leavened bread as joy, and the spiritual meaning behind practices such as eating the lamb roasted on a fire and wearing sandals. He references key fathers like St. Serill of Alexandria and links biblical texts to liturgical traditions while addressing questions on fasting and feast observances. #OldTestamentFeasts #PassoverSymbolism #ChristianAllegory #PentecostMeaning #BiblicalInterpretation #StPaulHouston #Coptic #FrMatthias Subscribe to us on YouTube https://youtube.com/stpaulhouston Like us on Facebook https://facebook.com/saintpaulhouston Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/stpaulhouston Follow us on Instagram https://instagram.com/stpaulhouston Visit our website for schedules and to join the mailing list https://stpaulhouston.org

Are Violent Bible Passages Being Used to Justify War?   Pete Wehner, former White House official and writer for The Atlantic, joins Curtis Chang to examine how violent Old Testament "holy war" texts are being invoked in today's political and cultural debates, including by Pete Hegseth and voices tied to the Trump administration. Pete and Curtis explore the war in Iran, Bible interpretation, the character of God, and why Christians must read troubling Bible passages through the lens of Jesus and the cross before making life-and-death moral judgments.   02:37 - Holy War Texts and Public Policy 03:37 - Pete Hegseth and the Invocation of Holy War  08:32 - The Real-World Consequences of Misreading Scripture  17:21 - Wrestling with Disturbing Texts  22:28 - The Necessity of Disturbance and Christocentric Reading 31:07 - What Is the Historical Role of Allegorical Interpretation? 35:17 - Jewish and Rabbinic Traditions of Wrestling with Text  37:21 - Tim Keller: Christ's Character as Interpretive Key 42:58 - The Importance of Literary Reasoning 46:37 - Literal but Time-Specific Commands 52:15 - A Warning Against Overconfidence 54:04 - Debating for Truth, Not Victory 56:09 - The Real-World and Personal Stakes of Biblical Interpretation   Take the Listener Survey Sign up for The After Party Sign up for The Good List     Mentioned In This Episode: Pete Wehner's article Pete Hegseth's Moral Unseriousness Understanding Pete Hegseth's connection to Douglas Wilson: What is CREC and how does it shape Pete Hegseth's religious rhetoric?

Joe Costandy explores the allegorical interpretation of the biblical story of David and Goliath, focusing on its deeper spiritual meanings beyond the literal and moral layers. He explains the symbolism of key characters, showing Saul as a figure representing Adam and David as a symbol of Christ, the beloved son who replaces the first king. Joe discusses the significance of the battle setting, the representation of Satan and humanity, and how David's victory prefigures Christ's triumph over evil through humility and obedience to God. He also highlights how the story reflects God's broader plan for humanity's salvation and the spiritual battle between good and evil. Drawing from early church fathers and Scripture, Joe emphasizes that the allegorical reading complements the literal account, revealing the richness of biblical narratives as part of God's unfolding revelation.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on his discussion of the Stoics' allegorical interpretation of earlier Greek myth, legend, and religion, which anthropomorphized the gods in ways that the Stoics thought irrational and unbefitting of divinity To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3,500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Cicero's On The Nature Of Gods - amzn.to/3JITSZc

St. Thomas affirms that allegorical interpretation is not for the proving of doctrine "But to the destruction of errors one proceeds only through the literal sense, because other senses are accepted by similitudes, and the argument cannot be derived from similitudes of expressions" (In 1 Sent., Prol., Q.5), those who hold to material sufficency hold that every doctrine must be from scripture, yet the Bodily assumption is not present in scripture in the literal sense. So, how do we hold to the Bodily assumption?

In tonight's Chumash shiur (given at YBT on 10/21/20) we began learning the Ralbag's commentary on Gan Eden. We encountered some Aristotelian bumps along the way - most of which had to do with the Active Intellect - but we at least got most of what he was saying. Certainly an original and creative approach! ----------מקורות:רלב"ג בראשית ב:ד-יד, ביאור המלות----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!

The topic of tonight's Chumash shiur (given at YBT on 10/14/20) was the Ralbag's preface to his allegorical commentary on Gan Eden. We began with the Abravanel's objections to taking Gan Eden as a mashal. We then learned through the Ralbag's intro to Gan Eden in which he gives an overview of the ideas in the nimshal. Whether or not we embark on learning through his commentary in the upcoming weeks remains to be seen.----------מקורות:אברבנאל - בראשית פרק ברלב"ג בראשית ב:ד - ג:כד, הצעה לחלק חרמב"ם - מורה הנבוכים הקדמה; ב:כטרמב"ם - שמונה פרקים, פרק א ----------If you have questions, comments, or feedback, I would love to hear from you!
