Faith isn't just believing—it's staying connected to Jesus. Hebrews 11:6 reminds us that without faith, it's impossible to please God, but what does that mean for our daily lives?In this podcast, Susie and Angie explore how faith fuels our relationship with Christ, helps us hear His voice, and strengthens our walk with Him. Join us as we dive into practical ways to keep our focus on the main thing—our connection with Jesus.Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”https://livesteadyon.com/https://susiecrosby.com/https://www.logos.com/https://enduringword.com/https://www.wordhippo.com/https://www.biblegateway.com/https://www.blueletterbible.org/Rudolf Bultmann, “Πιστεύω, Πίστις, Πιστός, Πιστόω, Ἄπιστος, Ἀπιστέω, Ἀπιστία, Ὀλιγόπιστος, Ὀλιγοπιστία,” ed.

In this episode I talk with Dr. Frank Thielman, Professor of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School, about his brand-new book Paul, Apostle of Grace, out now on Eerdmans. This book is a sweeping but readable biography of Paul that addresses his life, ministry, theology, letter writing, and more. We discuss the importance of Paul in the development of the early church, the historical reliability of Acts and his letters, his Jewish background as a Pharisee from Tarsus, the Damascus Road experience, his missionary journeys to the Gentiles, the purpose of his letters, and the impact Paul has on the modern church. If you want a one-podcast summary of the life of Paul, this is it! Media Referenced:Paul, Apostle of Grace: https://a.co/d/6jp0AAQFrank Thielman Academic Page: https://www.samford.edu/beeson-divinity/directory/Thielman-Frank The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

In this episode I talk to Dr. Dale Allison, Professor of New Testament Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary. He is the author of numerous books and articles, including the brand-new Interpreting Jesus, out now on Eerdmans, where he analyzes several interesting and innovative issues related to the historical Jesus. We discuss contingent eschatology in 2nd Temple Judaism, the belief that God would intervene to rescue his people under certain conditions, whether Jesus thought himself to be the new Moses, why miracles aren't necessarily out of bounds in historical Jesus studies, and how the presence of women traveling with Jesus during his ministry impacts our understanding of his ethical teachings. We conclude with a discussion on method. Allison expresses his concerns about the reliability of human memory, and how exploring themes in the Gospels helps us to reconstruct Jesus better than attempting to discern the historicity of individual stories or sayings. Unfortunately, Streamyard adjusted the microphone settings to my computer instead of my microphone, which is why my vocals sound thin.

Een jaar geleden kwamen PVV, VVD, NSC en BBB met hun hoofdlijnenakkoord. De belofte was niet gering: 'HOOP, LEF EN TROTS'. Of, in een eerder concept: 'Bouwstenen voor doorbraken'. Dat zou een kabinet van experts vervolgens uitdiepen tot een regeerprogramma. En dat zou worden voorzien van een serie maatschappelijke akkoorden, zodat het draagvlak veel breder kon zijn dan bij vier fracties in de Tweede Kamer alleen.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger wandelen door de geschiedenis van het eerste jaar van de coalitie van PVV, VVD, NSC en BBB en noteren een reeks opvallend consistente politieke patronen. En noteren bijna vergeten momenten waarvan we nu begrijpen dat zij grote impact kregen. Geert Wilders kreeg drie keer op rij niét wat hij verlangde en nam wraak op Dick Schoof en zijn coalitiecollega's.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend een mailtje naar adverteren@dagennacht.nl en wij zoeken contact.Op sommige podcast-apps kun je niet alles lezen. De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Wat zien we nu? Het is opmerkelijk achteraf dat de twee cruciale documenten voor het slagen van deze coalitie nooit in de Kamer besproken zijn op inhoud en betekenis. Noch de rechtsstaatverklaring noch het regeerprogramma. Het waren papieren tijgers, een soort wapenstilstandsverdrag.De enige politicus die de verklaring écht benutte was Geert Wilders. Hij rekt deze voortdurend op met zijn erupties in sociale media die de premier en NSC weigeren 'te recenseren'. Dat benut hij vervolgens ook voor zijn eigenstandige buitenlandse politiek op het wereldtoneel, die bedremmeld zwijgend wordt geslikt.Vanaf het onderhandelingsproces dat het hoofdlijnenakkoord dankzij het duo Elbert Dijkgraaf en Richard van Zwol opleverde, is de coalitie met die methode blijven overleggen. Steeds kwam er uit de koker van de vier fractieleiders een conclusie, die inhield dat men akkoord was met verdaging van de voorgenomen besluiten.In plaats van regeringsarbeid door ministers kwam een permanente kabinetsformatie tussen fractievoorzitters, waarbij overeenstemming op concrete beleidspunten vaak wordt uitgesteld. Zowel bij Prinsjesdag als bij de Voorjaarsnota was dit de werkwijze die conflicten en hun oplossing vermeed.Kabinet en coalitie kennen geen gezamenlijk aanvaard en geregeld consensusmechanisme. Zowel tussen de Kamerfracties niet als evenmin binnen het kabinet of tussen kabinet en fracties. De premier kan dat mechanisme niet vormen, omdat hij 'van niemand' is. De vier vicepremiers zijn door de fractieleiders politiek gemarginaliseerd.Een onthullend interview met NSC-staatssecretaris Tjebbe van Oostenbruggen schilderde de effecten hiervan. Premier, minister van Financiën en hijzelf zaten urenlang in een antichambre te wachten op een sein van de fractieleiders, terwijl ondersteuning door experts niet welkom bleek. De enige die als een soort oliemannetje weet te opereren is Geert Wilders, zoals ook bleek bij de Onderwijsbegroting.De machtsverhoudingen zijn in het jaar sinds ‘HOOP, LEF EN TROTS' drastisch veranderd. De coalitie bestaat gezien de peilingen feitelijk nog uit twee partijen die samen zo'n 50 zetels halen. De eerst zo gehavende oppositie is krachtig terug als politieke factor – ook vanwege het belang van de Eerste Kamer.Naast het onvermogen van kabinet en coalitie is de herverkiezing van Donald Trump van cruciale betekenis gebleken. Zijn aantreden zorgde voor een volledig ander discours over volledig andere prioriteiten dan de coalitie in mei 2024 zich kon voorstellen. Europa, defensie, handelsoorlogen, recessie, monetaire orkanen en 'strategische autonomie' slaan nu de klok.Pogingen tot afleiding met lintjes, 130 kilometer of tripjes naar de Efteling werken inmiddels averechts. Binnen de PVV-gelederen breekt openlijke onmin uit door irritaties tussen hun bewindslieden en met Wilders. De teloorgang van Pieter Omtzigt en zijn partij, de motie-Eerdmans en de instorting van de plannen tot woningbouw destabiliseren kabinet en coalitie.In de zomer moet bovendien een lijn gevonden worden over de Europese meerjarenbegroting. Van enige samenhang is geen sprake en de Nederlandse begroting is op weg naar een tekort boven de kritische grens van 3 procent van het bruto nationaal product. Daarmee kan Nederland in Brussel slechts hoon oogsten. Zijn we hiermee terug in voorjaar 2012, toen Geert Wilders wegvluchtte voor Brusselse consequenties?***Verder luisteren501 - Den Haag zonder Omtzigt en een Voorjaarsnota zonder beleid497 – De krankzinnige tarievenoorlog van Donald Trump495 - De zeven burgeroorlogen van Dick Schoof493 - Het belastingkaartenhuis wankelt491 - De voortdurende twijfels van Nieuw Sociaal Contract480 - De dilemma's van links474 – Parlementair historicus Joop van den Berg: “De democratie is in groot gevaar.

In this episode we're joined by Dr. James Barker, who is Associate Professor in the Department of History at Western Kentucky University and the author of Writing and Rewriting the Gospels: John and the Synoptics (published by Eerdmans). In this episode we discuss Dr. Barker's theory of Gospel development, which entails the idea that each of our canonical Gospels were aware of the previously written ones, meaning not only that Luke used Matthew, but moreover that John knew of each of the Synoptic Gospels. We discuss some of the evidence for this, the developmental implications of this insight for Christology, among other things, and much more. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Rev. Dr. Chris Porter, and Dr. Kris Song. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

The institution of slavery permeated the ancient world, such that the realities of slavery and its long shadows pervade the New Testament and other early Christian texts. Yet enslavement remains an under-taught aspect of the context of the New Testament and early Christianity, leaving pastors, laypersons, and neophyte college students alike to fill knowledge gaps about enslaved persons, enslavers, living and laboring conditions, and much more with partial information, assumptions, or a range of highly technical and specialized monographs.  Ancient Slavery and Its New Testament Contexts (Eerdmans, 2025), co-edited by Christy Cobb and Katherine A. Shaner, takes on these issues, introducing readers to the textures, complexities, and material realities of slavery in the Greco-Roman world. International scholars with a range of expertise, from New Testament and early Christian studies to classics, theology, ethics, and more, contribute to a tapestry of introductory themes, topics, and interpretive frameworks with a wealth of literary, inscriptional, pictorial, and theoretical evidence from the material culture of Roman antiquity in this significant volume. Dr. Cobb and Dr. Shaner joined the New Books Network to initiate important conversations that they hope will continue in religious studies classrooms, schools of theology and divinity, and local church small group settings. Christy Cobb (Ph.D., Drew University, 2016) is Associate Professor of Christianity at the University of Denver. She is the author of Slavery, Gender, Truth and Power in Luke-Acts and Other Ancient Narratives (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) and has also co-edited a volume entitled Sex, Violence, and Early Christian Texts (Lexington Books, 2022). Dr. Cobb is also a member of the editorial board for the Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion, and her research and teaching interests include slavery, gender, sexuality, Acts, and Apocryphal Acts. In her recreational time, Christy enjoys reading novels, crafts, and spending time with her nine-year-old son in Denver. Katherine A. Shaner (Th.D., Harvard University Divinity School, 2012) is Associate Professor of New Testament at the Wake Forest University School of Divinity. She is the author of Enslaved Leadership in Early Christianity (Oxford University Press, 2018) as well as numerous articles on slavery in the New Testament. Dr. Shaner is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and regularly preaches and teaches in churches around the United States. In her free time, Katherine enjoys hiking in the mountains, reading historical fiction, cooking dinner for friends and spending time with snuggly dogs. Rob Heaton (Ph.D., University of Denver, 2019) hosts Biblical Studies conversations for New Books in Religion and teaches New Testament, Christian origins, and early Christianity at Anderson University in Indiana.

Yet enslavement remains an under-taught aspect of the context of the New Testament and early Christianity, leaving pastors, laypersons, and neophyte college students alike to fill knowledge gaps about enslaved persons, enslavers, living and laboring conditions, and much more with partial information, assumptions, or a range of highly technical and specialized monographs.  Ancient Slavery and Its New Testament Contexts (Eerdmans, 2025), co-edited by Christy Cobb and Katherine A. Shaner, takes on these issues, introducing readers to the textures, complexities, and material realities of slavery in the Greco-Roman world. International scholars with a range of expertise, from New Testament and early Christian studies to classics, theology, ethics, and more, contribute to a tapestry of introductory themes, topics, and interpretive frameworks with a wealth of literary, inscriptional, pictorial, and theoretical evidence from the material culture of Roman antiquity in this significant volume. Dr. Cobb and Dr. Shaner joined the New Books Network to initiate important conversations that they hope will continue in religious studies classrooms, schools of theology and divinity, and local church small group settings. Christy Cobb (Ph.D., Drew University, 2016) is Associate Professor of Christianity at the University of Denver. She is the author of Slavery, Gender, Truth and Power in Luke-Acts and Other Ancient Narratives (Palgrave Macmillan, 2019) and has also co-edited a volume entitled Sex, Violence, and Early Christian Texts (Lexington Books, 2022). Dr. Cobb is also a member of the editorial board for the Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion, and her research and teaching interests include slavery, gender, sexuality, Acts, and Apocryphal Acts. In her recreational time, Christy enjoys reading novels, crafts, and spending time with her nine-year-old son in Denver. Katherine A. Shaner (Th.D., Harvard University Divinity School, 2012) is Associate Professor of New Testament at the Wake Forest University School of Divinity. She is the author of Enslaved Leadership in Early Christianity (Oxford University Press, 2018) as well as numerous articles on slavery in the New Testament. Dr. Shaner is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and regularly preaches and teaches in churches around the United States. In her free time, Katherine enjoys hiking in the mountains, reading historical fiction, cooking dinner for friends and spending time with snuggly dogs.

The first witnesses of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ were some of his female disciples. Mary Magdalene witnessed the empty tomb and was the first to encounter the risen Savior. Additionally, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and other unnamed women, who had come to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus, saw the empty tomb and reported it to the apostles. In this episode, Professor Gaye Strathearn explores the profound impact of the Easter events through the experiences of the women who witnessed the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. She explains how Luke's narrative, with support from the other Gospels, connects these women to Jesus's ministry in Galilee and portrays them as dedicated disciples who ministered to Jesus and followed him to Jerusalem. Further, the discussion underscores the women's loyalty and sacrifice, emphasizing their presence at the Crucifixion and their discovery of the empty tomb. In exploring these narratives, we can increase our knowledge of the enduring hope and faith that the Easter events inspire and add our own witness that “he is risen” (Mark 16:6).      Publications: “Women Witnesses of the Easter Events” in He Was Seen: Witnessing the Risen Christ, David M.

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬‬being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.Confidence in God's PLANConfidence in God's SON‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭34‬‬What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.“It is a consoling thought that Christ is praying for us, even when we are negligent in our prayer life; that He is presenting to the Father those spiritual needs which were not present to our minds and which we often neglect to include in our prayers; and that He prays for our protection against the dangers of which we are not even conscious, and against the enemies which threaten us, though we do not notice it.”   - Louis Berkhof Berkhof, L.

Eerdmans publishing co., 1938.Confidence in God's PLANConfidence in God's SONConfidence in God's LOVE‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭35‬-‭39‬‬Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.Spring Lake Church WebsiteFind out more about Spring Lake Church at our website.https://www.springlakechurch.org/Financially Support Spring Lake ChurchGiving financially is simple.

Sander Tordoir (35) is hoofdeconoom van de denktank Centre for European Reform met standplaats Berlijn. Het werk daar van de jonge Nederlander - die eerder al voor Mario Draghi en Christine Lagarde werkte bij de Europese Centrale Bank - is analyseren en adviseren over de wereldeconomie, een beter functionerende Europese Unie en de rol daarin van Duitsland.Dit zijn voor hem dan ook heftige dagen. Met Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger bespreekt hij de over elkaar buitelende gebeurtenissen in de tarievenoorlog van Donald Trump. Een oorlogsverklaring aan ieder land ter wereld. Van China en Japan tot het straatarme Lesotho. En ons.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***"Paniek." Dat is Tordoirs eerste antwoord als je hem vraagt de actuele toestand van de wereldeconomie en financiën te beschrijven. De crux daarvan is het besef, dat deze handelsoorlog niet alleen irrationeel lijkt, maar vooral ook de essentiële basis van de relaties tussen naties heeft weggeslagen. Vertrouwen.De feitelijke grondslag ervan noemt hij ronduit ‘krankzinnig'. Het zou hem niet eens verbazen als een jonge assistent van Elon Musk met behulp van ChatGTP de berekeningen heeft gedaan. Ergens midden in de nacht.Of de president een plan heeft? Dat blijft ongrijpbaar. Trump heeft vier soorten rivaliserende adviseurs en zij strijden permanent om aandacht en instemming. Wie hij volgt is steeds weer een verrassing. De ingrepen van dit moment veroorzaken hoe dan ook een forse sprong in de inflatie en daar is Amerika in 't geheel niet op voorbereid.In plaats van een impuls aan industrialisatie en bloei die onder Joe Biden in gang was gezet, beschadigen Trumps tarieven de positieve wending op juist dit punt. Doelwit zijn de EU – “it was started to screw us” - en vooral China. Xi Jinpings bewind is economisch, geopolitiek en ideologisch de grote opponent.Sander Tordoir duikt diep in de contrasten tussen de strategie en economie van Amerika en China. Xi zal moeten kiezen tussen opjagen van de binnenlandse vraag en consumptie; dumping van de enorme overschotten van exportproducten als auto's en machines; of devaluatie van de Chinese munt. En dat laatste is zeer riskant.Dit raakt natuurlijk direct die andere wereldmacht in de handel, de Europese Unie. Samen optrekken tegen Trump met China zal stuurmanskunst vereisen, vooral van Ursula von der Leyen en de nieuwe Duitse regering van Friedrich Merz. 'Rebalancing' is nu het motto: een meer evenwichtige handelsrelatie bereiken waarmee beiden met succes Amerika kunnen weerstaan.De gedurfde expansie van de aanpak van CDU en SPD (met hulp van De Groenen) is precies wat nu nodig is en helpt ook de EU.Duitsland trekt intussen op met Frankrijk, Polen en ook het Verenigd Koninkrijk – alsof de Brexit er nooit was. Alles pleit ervoor dat de sterk geïntegreerde Nederlandse en Duitse economie hier zoveel mogelijk samen doen. Maar Nederland staat met het kabinet-Schoof in Europa volstrekt geïsoleerd. "De motie-Eerdmans is ook in Berlijn een begrip; en niet gunstig."De Schoof-coalitie is onderwijl bezig met een 'mini-formatie' rond de Voorjaarsnota en munt uit in onderling wantrouwen. Maar discussies over staatsschuld inzetten voor koopkrachtgeschenken of consumptieve uitgaven zijn irrelevant. Investeringen in defensie en de concrete stappen uit het rapport-Draghi vormen nu de agenda, onderstreept Sander Tordoir. De EU moet bovendien de gestagneerde Interne Markt in fiks tempo vlottrekken en voltooien. Dat levert meer dynamiek en groei op dan de schade die Trump kan aanrichten.***Verder luisteren495 - De zeven burgeroorlogen van Dick Schoof490 – Duitslands grote draai.

Hij zou het geheim zijn van het ‘extraparlementaire programkabinet'. Een partijloze premier die alle coulissen van Den Haag kende, gepokt en gemazeld dankzij decennia opereren in de schaduw van krachtfiguren - een man die het vak kon leren van leiders als Ruud Lubbers en Mark Rutte. Wat bleek? Juist Dick Schoofs kabinet werd een achtbaan van incidenten, chaotische onderlinge verhoudingen en kettingbotsingen. Schoof krijgt zijn ploeg niet aan het werk. Haagse ambtenaren kijken wanhopig naar 'hun' premier. Angstig wachten ze af welke 22% van hen ontslagen gaat worden door NSC-minister Judith Uitermark (Binnenlandse Zaken). Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger zien 'lintjesgate' en de lotgevallen van PVV-minister Marjolein Faber als een fenomeen in een vast patroon. Onder Schoof coherentie noch regie, tenzij PVV-leider Geert Wilders die naar zich toetrekt. Ook bij dit nieuwste '1 april- debat'. ***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***De premier 'baalt', kreunt 'tsjongejonge', 'dit gebeurt niet nog eens', 'dit is niet goed'. Hoewel hij keer op keer belooft de regie te pakken, lijkt bijna niets te slagen. Het vaak om advies bellen met oud-formateur Richard van Zwol helpt ook al niet. De coalitie leeft van burgeroorlog naar burgeroorlog, met af en toe een wapenstilstand. De 'vier pizzapunten' staan vol argwaan in permanente campagnestand. Een gezamenlijk perspectief dat zorgt voor een gunfactor naar politieke partners is er nooit geweest.Burgeroorlog 1 is het raison d'être van dit verbond: migratie. Zelfs bij vijf lintjes spat de ploeg uiteen. BBB-minister Mona Keijzer botst met collega Faber. Deze beschimpt daarop de premier straffeloos, waarna VVD en NSC toch weer een wapenstilstand slikken. Maar de strijd in de loopgraven woedt voort. Burgeroorlog 2 betreft de echte oorlog, die in Oekraïne. De scheuring van de coalitie rond de motie-Eerdmans dendert nog na. EU en NAVO beseffen nu dat Dick Schoof een solist is zonder achterban of gezag. Burgeroorlog 3 wordt uitgevochten in Boedapest. De VVD pikt in Europa niet langer de schofferingen door Viktor Orbán en kornuiten. Wilders Europese partner moet hard aangepakt worden. Een confrontatie op de Haagse poesta. Burgeroorlog 4 draait - heel passend- om het defensiebeleid. Aankomend bondskanselier Friedrich Merz heeft de Haagse politiek volledig overrompeld met zijn € 500 miljard 'Sondervermögen' daarvoor. De coalitie schiet alle kanten op. Dit doet vrezen voor een deconfiture op de NAVO-top in juni.Burgeroorlog 5 betreft nog meer miljarden. Klimaat en energie - en het overvolle stroomnet - vergen daadkracht en investeringen. De industrie dreigt ons land de rug te keren. Dat is iets dat juist de VVD niet kan of zal meemaken. PVV en BBB keren zich intussen tegen VVD-minister Sophie Hermans. Burgeroorlog 6 verlamt alle activiteiten die ons land vooruit moeten brengen, zoals de huizenbouw. Stikstofperikelen worden niet opgelost. Ze wantrouwen BBB-minister Femke Wiersma. Kabinet en coalitie verlammen daarbij vooral zichzelf. Burgeroorlog 7 gaat om geld, de wortel van alle kwaad immers. NSC beweert 10 miljard te hebben getoverd, BBB en PVV geven die enthousiast uit voor hun clientèle, maar VVD-minister Eelco Heinen en de premier weigeren de staatsschuld als cadeautjes rond te strooien. En de BTW-problemen hangen als een zwaard van Damokles boven het kabinet. Daarbij komt dat ons land geen 'Sondervermögen' kent en schulden oplieren is geen investeren. Holland wordt Hellas.De extraparlementaire fictie geeft de vier fracties intussen alle mogelijkheden zich te profileren tegen elkaar en de dilemma's, veto's, kostbare wensen en eisen bij elkaar over de heg te gooien. Regeren wordt zo: oppositie voeren tegen de eigen partners. De premier staat alleen, zijn ministers negeren hem en de coalitiefracties nog meer. Als marathonloper rent hij tussen de loopgraven van zijn zeven burgeroorlogen, wapperend met een witte vlag: "Niet schieten!"***Verder luisteren428 – Dick Schoof, de 'premier van buiten', is de ultieme insider448 - Premier zonder kompas470 - Het kabinet bestaat niet, het is een virtuele machine466 - Behandeling Onderwijsbegroting werd parcours vol struikelpartijen en miskleunen463 - De eerste honderd dagen.

In this episode I talk to Dr. James Ware, scholar of New Testament and Ancient Christianity and professor emeritus at the University of Evansville, about his brand-new The Final Triumph of God: Jesus, the Eyewitnesses, and the Resurrection of the Body in 1 Corinthians 15, out now on Eerdmans, which is a line-by-line commentary of Paul's most iconic statement of the resurrection at the end of the first Corinthian epistle. We look at the significance and centrality of the resurrection for Christian faith, the wider context of 1 Corinthians, and then engage in a passage-by-passage review of 1 Corinthians 15, dealing with all the complex exegetical questions it poses. The resurrection is the heart of the Christian hope, and this lengthy chapter needs to be taken seriously! Media Referenced:The Final Triumph of God: https://a.co/d/8zHHXFr James Ware Amazon page https://www.amazon.com/stores/James-P.-Ware/author/B001JXUOPS?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1742654742&sr=8-1&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=3bfa1604-b6e2-4c27-bb83-5236f2524088The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.

The First Letter to the Corinthians begins with an admonishment of the church over their internal division and reliance on human wisdom. What exactly occasioned Paul's advice has perennially troubled New Testament scholars. Many scholars have asserted that Paul disapproved of the Corinthians' infatuation with rhetoric. Yet careful exegesis of the epistle problematizes this consensus.  In Rediscovering the Wisdom of the Corinthians (Eerdmans, 2024), Timothy A. Brookins unsettles common assumptions about the Corinthian conflict in this innovative monograph. His close reading of 1 Corinthians 1–4 presents evidence that the Corinthian problem had roots in Stoicism. The wisdom Paul alludes to is not sophistry, but a Stoic-inspired understanding of natural hierarchy, in which the wise put themselves above believers they considered spiritually underdeveloped. Moreover, Paul's followers saw themselves as a philosophical school in rivalry with other Christians, engendering divisions in the church.  Combining scriptural exegesis and investigation of Greco-Roman philosophical culture, Brookins reconstructs the social sphere of Corinth that Paul addresses in his letter. His masterful analysis provides much needed clarity on the context of a major epistle and on Pauline theology more broadly. Timothy A. Brookins is Professor of Early Christianity at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. His research interests include the Pauline epistles and the Greco-Roman philosophical and rhetorical traditions. He is the author of Reading 1 Corinthians: A Literary and Theological Commentary and Ancient Rhetoric and the Style of Paul's Letters. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Brookins is Professor of Early Christianity at the University of St. Thomas in Houston, Texas. His research interests include the Pauline epistles and the Greco-Roman philosophical and rhetorical traditions. He is the author of Reading 1 Corinthians: A Literary and Theological Commentary and Ancient Rhetoric and the Style of Paul's Letters. Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

Een Europees kernwapen? Die vraag is actueler dan ooit nu Europa zich niet meer veilig waant onder de Amerikaanse atoomparaplu. Bondskanselier Friedrich Merz, de Poolse premier Donald Tusk en andere Europese leiders voeren plotsklaps een dialoog met de chef van de Franse kernwapens, president Emmanuel Macron. En die reikt hen de hand. Dat doet hij niet voor het eerst, maar nu blijkt zijn gebaar uiterst relevant.Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken in de uitzonderlijke historie van de 'Force de Frappe', waarin de Fransen keer op keer een eigenwijze, lastige positie innamen en soms jaren later gelijk kregen. Gaat dat nu weer zo? En wat doet Nederland?***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Wetenschappelijk liepen ze voor op bijna iedereen. Toch blokkeerde president Roosevelt deelname van Frankrijk aan het Manhattan-project. Dat trauma werkt door tot vandaag.Na 1945 was Frankrijk arm, maar ambitieus. Net als zijn geheime bondgenoot, de nieuwe en bedreigde staat Israël. Zij bundelden hun innovatief vernuft. De linkse premier Pierre Mendès France nam in 1954 het besluit een eigen kernwapen te bouwen. Dat zou van Frankrijk het leidende land in de nieuwe Europese Defensie Gemeenschap maken en het Duitsland van Konrad Adenauers Wirtschaftswunder overtreffen.In 1958 werd Charles de Gaulle president in een diepe nationale crisis. Hij pakte aan, strategisch en eigenzinnig. Ook met dat kernwapen, de 'Force de Frappe'. Zijn markante koerswending blijkt in 2025 bijna profetisch.Wat Macron nu aanbiedt is ondenkbaar zonder wat De Gaulle op eigen kracht realiseerde. De 'dissuasion' - afschrikking - van 'La Russie' en diepe argwaan naar Amerika vormden samen de kern van De Gaulles visie op Franse macht en capaciteiten.Jaap en PG vertellen over opmerkelijke momenten in deze historie. Van kernproeven in de Sahara, de Jupiter-bunker in hartje Parijs en de export van wapens en kennis naar tirannen als Saddam Hussein. En hoe dát afliep.Een verrassende rol speelde president François Mitterrand. Hij was links, maar geopolitiek een ijskoude realist. Hij verrukte Ronald Reagan. In de Bondsdag gaf-ie een spijkerhard college machtspolitiek. En hij zorgde dat het Franse kernwapen gemoderniseerd werd, juist omdát de Muur viel. Want Amerika zou na de Koude Oorlog de Europeanen meer op zichzelf gaan laten.Nu, in 2025, bouwt Macron hier onmiskenbaar op voort. Hij wil de gesneefde Europese Defensie Gemeenschap van Mendès France in nieuwe vorm laten herrijzen en deze zelfs verbinden met de veel bredere Europese Politieke Gemeenschap. Dan worden ook landen als Oekraïne, Moldavië, het Verenigd Koninkrijk en Noorwegen deel van een nieuwe 'veiligheidsarchitectuur' in Europa. Met de Franse kernmacht als een stevige garantie. Tegen 'La Russie'. En Amerika, zo nodig. Helemaal De Gaulle!In Nederland reikt het denken nog niet zo ver. Verwarring heerst. De motie-Eerdmans werkt funest door en verlamt de coalitie van premier Dick Schoof. De kans dat Nederland zichzelf marginaliseert is reëel.

Meer dan ooit is Duitsland nu het cruciale buurland van Nederland en de essentiële lidstaat in de Europese Unie en onder de Europese NAVO-partners. De nieuwe coalitie van CDU-CSU en SPD en de komende nieuwe bondskanselier Friedrich Merz beseffen dat ze voor een enorme opgave staan; de grootste sinds 1990 na de val van de Berlijnse Muur.De Duitse kabinetsformatie verloopt voorspoedig. CDU-CSU en SPD nemen drastische besluiten. Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger over de gevolgen voor Duitsland, Europa en Nederland.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***De nieuwe coalitie van de krimpende oude volkspartijen van christendemocraten en sociaaldemocraten - spottend meer Kleine Koalition dan Grosse Koalition genoemd - kreeg plotseling hulp van twee mensen die een uitweg boden om een adembenemend andere koers in te slaan dan de kiezers was beloofd. De Amerikaanse president Donald Trump en Europese Commissie-president Urlsula von der Leyen zorgden voor een 180 graden omwenteling.Jaap en PG schetsen de heftige botsingen waarmee de verkenningsfase van de coalitie begon en de ingrijpende conclusies waarmee die eindigde. "Das wird ein heisser Ritt", zuchtte Friedrich Merz.Door in de komende tien jaar € 1.000 miljard te reserveren voor investeringen in defensie, Oekraïne en achterstallig onderhoud in de infrastructuur wil de coalitie leiderschap in Europa en bij de transformatie van de economie tonen.Merz weet dat hij een nieuwe Helmut Kohl moet worden, in een minstens zo verbluffende 'Wende' als toen, in 1990. En bij de SPD zijn het de strategische lessen van Helmut Schmidt die getrokken worden.De opluchting in Europa is groot. De Franse president Emmanuel Macron ziet de as Parijs-Berlijn eindelijk herleven en laat geen traan om Olaf Scholz. De alliantie van politieke families rond het midden blijkt in het Europees Parlement al zichtbaar verstevigd.In Berlijn ondervindt Merz meer problemen. De jongerenclubs van zijn Union en de SPD zijn negatief, want zij vinden de eerste afspraken een ‘Boomerakkoord' ten koste van hun toekomst. En voor een snelle hervorming van de 'Schuldenbremse' – de strenge Duitse begrotingsregels – heeft Merz De Groenen nodig, maar zij zijn terughoudend; ze willen hun huid duur verkopen. Intussen moet de SPD haar aangeslagen leiderschap vernieuwen. Lars Klingbeil en Saskia Esken leiden de onderhandelingen. Maar let ook op de populaire minister van Defensie Olaf Pistorius. En op Bärbel Bas, nu nog Bondsdagpresident maar klaar voor de top van haar partij, gonst het door Berlijn. De consequenties van deze politieke omwenteling voor Den Haag zijn nauwelijks te overzien. Met de motie-Eerdmans tegen de EU-defensieplannen is Nederland politiek gecastreerd. Ook de industrie krijgt hiermee grote klappen.Voor NAVO-chef Mark Rutte is het beschamende vertoning dat zijn land in Europa nu alleen staat. Liever dan met Dick Schoof praat Merz met Henri Bontenbal van ‘splinterpartij' CDA, bleek in Brussel. Ondertussen poogt VVD-leider Dilan Yesilgöz in Kyiv president Volodymyr Zelensky te verzekeren dat Nederland Oekraïne volledig blijft steunen.Zou Schoof zwichten voor Omtzigts boekhoudkundige bezwaren dan is de premier volledig gemarginaliseerd. Maar wat Schoof ook doet, het is altijd verkeerd. Als hij afstand neemt van drie van de vier coalitiepartijen, dan is hij pas echt 'van niemand' en zijn positie onhoudbaar. Het was immers formateur Van Zwol die benadrukte dat hij premier werd ‘namens de vier fractieleiders' en dat eigenlijk alleen daarop zijn gezag zou berusten.***Verder luisteren484 - Hoe Trump chaos veroorzaakt en de Europeanen in elkaars armen drijft483 - Friedrich Merz, eerzuchtig en onbesuisd465 – Nederland en Duitsland, labiel en leiderloos.

Many people assume that the first introduction of Christianity to the Chinese was part of nineteenth-century Western imperialism. In fact, Syriac-speaking Christians brought the gospel along the Silk Road into China in the seventh century. Glen L. Thompson introduces readers to the fascinating history of this early Eastern church, referred to as Jingjiao, or the “Luminous Teaching.” Thompson presents the history of the Persian church's mission to China with rigor and clarity. While Christianity remained a minority and “foreign” religion in the Middle Kingdom, it nonetheless attracted adherents among indigenous Chinese and received imperial approval during the Tang Dynasty. Though it was later suppressed alongside Buddhism, it resurfaced in China and Mongolia in the twelfth century. Thompson also discusses how the modern unearthing of Chinese Christian texts has stirred controversy over the meaning of Jingjiao to recent missionary efforts in China. In an accessible style, Thompson guides readers through primary sources as well as up-to-date scholarship. As the most recent and balanced survey on the topic available in English, Jingjiao: The Earliest Christian Church in China (Eerdmans, 2024) will be an indispensable resource for students of global Christianity and missiology. Glen L. Thompson is professor emeritus of New Testament and historical theology at Asia Lutheran Seminary in Hong Kong. He has retired to Milwaukee, where he researches, works with students, and expands his Fourth-Century Christianity website. New Books in Syriac Studies is presented by Kristian Heal.

When he was 23 years old, Dale Allison almost died in a car accident. That terrifying experience dramatically changed his ideas about death and the hereafter. In Night Comes: Death, Imagination, and the Last Things (Eerdmans, 2016) Allison wrestles with a number of difficult questions concerning the last things -- such questions as What happens to us after we die? and Why does death so often frighten us? Armed with his acknowledged scholarly expertise, Allison offers an engaging, personal exploration of such themes as death and fear, resurrection and judgment, hell and heaven, in light of science, Scripture, and his own experience. As he ponders and creatively imagines -- engaging throughout with biblical texts, church fathers, rabbinic scholars, poets, and philosophers -- Allison offers fascinating fare that will captivate many a reader's heart and soul.

In this episode I talk with Dr. James Barker, associate professor of New Testament at Western Kentucky University, who authored the brand-new book Writing and Rewriting the Gospels: John and the Synoptics, out now on Eerdmans. In this book Dr. Barker discusses the synoptic problem, the question of the literary relationship between Matthew, Mark, and Luke, and offers a defense of the Farrer hypothesis, which argues Mark was the first gospel to be written, Matthew used Mark, and Luke used both. He discusses ancient rhetorical techniques, writings styles and media, and the ‘trajectory' of editing. He then proposes that John both knew and used the synoptics, and that the development of early Christology helpfully illustrates the literary development of the gospels.    Media Referenced:Writing and Rewriting the Gospels: https://a.co/d/aQAdPq4James Barker Academia: https://wku.academia.edu/JamesBarker  The Protestant Libertarian Podcast is a project of the Libertarian Christian Institute and a part of the Christians For Liberty Network.
