Today's episode was with Amy Peeler out of Wheaton College. Amy has just released a new and wonderful Hebrews commentary in Eerdmans' "Commentaries for Christian Formation” series and I had the wonderful chance to chat with her today about it.

Guest: Dr. Amy PeelerTo have new conversations about abortion, we need to step inside people's stories. Women specifically can sometimes wonder where they can find their place in the story of God's family. We're celebrating this season of Advent by exploring how the coming of Jesus to reconcile God and humanity begins with a pregnancy story. Join Angela and her guest, Dr. Amy Peeler, the Kenneth T. Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies at Wheaton College, a priest in the Episcopal Church (USA), and the author of Women and the Gender of God (Eerdmans, 2022). They unpack the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, through the lens of her pregnancy experience. And they walk through the deeper truths this story illustrates about God's compassion and equal value for both the woman and the child. How can He hold His plan for the Son to become human and Mary's agency in that plan without contradiction? As we celebrate Christmas, we sit with this reality of God's intention for Mary's place in the salvation story. Links: Women and the Gender of God by Dr. Amy Peeler - https://www.eerdmans.com/9780802879097/ Amy references the painting: Mary consoles Eve by Grace Remington Referenced Prayer:(Book of Common Prayer, Rite II, Prayer B, p. 368) We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and lovewhich you have made known to us in creation; in the callingof Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through theprophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, yourSon. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate fromthe Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world.In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthyto stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of errorinto truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

Dr. Amy Peeler, Associate Professor of New Testament, has authored You Are My Son: The Family of God in the Epistle to the Hebrews (T&T Clark, 2015) along with articles on a range of NT texts and topics, and her study, Women and the Gender of God (Eerdmans), is forthcoming. Jesus' identity as a son is highlighted in the figurative comparison with Moses in Heb. 3:1-6, but close attention to the Greek wording appreciates that it is Jesus' divinity that stands out as the key distinction.
For centuries, the mentally ill have been misunderstood and ostracized within religious communities. What would it mean to seriously transform how we view, discuss and treat those struggling with mental illness as Christians?

In a wide ranging discussion about contextualisation, culture, the gospel, and mission John Flett and Henning Wrogemann detail what can be learnt from (predominately the mistakes) of a century of German mission theology. I was surprised by the manifold ways contemporary language around church, mission, and culture finds its roots in articulations that were developed within and embraced by German National Socialism. The conversation begins with some quick takes on common mission catchphrases and ends with the idea of mission as being - in part - about living together with the stranger. Get their book, Questions of Context (IVP Academic, 2020).Henning Wrogemann (DTheol, DHabil, Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg) is a world-renowned missiologist and scholar of religion. He holds the chair for mission studies, comparative religion, and ecumenics at the Protestant University Wuppertal/Bethel in Germany, where he also heads the Institute for Intercultural Theology and Interreligious Studies. He is the author of the three volume Intercultural Theology (IVP Academic). Previously, Wrogemann served as a pastor in northern Germany, as the senior lecturer for missiology and comparative religion at the Mission Seminary Hermannsburg, and as a member of the mission board of the Evangelical Lutheran Mission in Lower-Saxony, Germany.

Kendall Vanderslice Talks About Dinner Churches, the Gospel and Feasting Kendall is a baker and writer, who says her best thinking occurs when she has a lump of dough in her hands. After embarking on a career as a pastry chef, she found that her love of bread transformed the ways she read scripture. Fascinated by God's use of food throughout the arc of the Gospel, she merged her work in the kitchen with an academic study of food and theology. Kendall is a graduate of Wheaton College in Illinois (BA Anthropology 2013), where she began engaging questions of food and faith. Interested in commensality (the social dynamics of eating together) she studied food at Boston University (MLA Gastronomy 2016). She is now a student at Duke University, studying the theology of bread (MTS 2019). Her first book, We Will Feast: Rethinking Dinner, Worship, and the Community of God (Eerdmans) releases May 2019.

Get your tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/political-populism-and-a-theological-response-with-john-flett-tickets-33611107728?aff=es2#tickets This interview will hopefully serve to entice you some more. I recorded it with john in Dec 2016 and it centres on John's most recent book, "Apostolicity: the Ecumenical Question in World Christian Perspective". But we cover a lot! His book on Apostolicity (hint: we start with what that word means), how it shakes out in conversations regarding diversity of structural expressions in world Christianity, the difficulty/danger of perceiving the church as a culture (hint: colonisation), the US election, understanding properly the colonial period of mission (hint: its about the sending churches), non-missionary mission, how the ignoring of mission is actually a way of avoiding external critique, the voiceless Jesus of Christmas, the persistent focus on "dying churches" in the Australia and the counterpoint of migrant and multicultural churches.... are you getting the picture? We cover A LOT Connect with John on twitter at @FlettJohn.
