Podcast appearances and mentions of Matthew W Bates

Matthew Bates joins us today to work out salvation. What is it? What have we got wrong? In our contemporary moment, we find ourselves wrestling with a profound misunderstanding of the gospel - a narrative that has been truncated, individualized, and stripped of its royal, communal essence. The gospel is not merely a personal transaction about individual salvation, but a comprehensive royal announcement about Jesus the Christ. For too long, both Protestant and Catholic traditions have inadvertently narrowed the expansive biblical vision of salvation. We've reduced faith to mental assent or ritualistic practice, when in reality, faith is fundamentally about allegiance - a comprehensive, embodied loyalty to King Jesus that transforms not just individuals, but entire communities and, ultimately, all of creation. Matthew seeks to recover a more holistic understanding. We are saved not just from something, but for something: the full restoration of our image-bearing capacity, the renewal of God's glory in and through us. This isn't about personal spiritual escapism, but about participating in a cosmic restoration project. In our conversation today, we'll explore how reimagining salvation as allegiance can bridge denominational divides, challenge our narcissistic cultural assumptions, and invite us into a more profound understanding of discipleship. We're not just talking about theological abstractions, but about a transformative way of being in the world. Prepare to have your understanding of the gospel radically expanded. Matthew W. Bates is Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. His books have won top honors from Christianity Today, Outreach Magazine, Jesus Creed, and Englewood Review. When he isn't hiking, baseballing, or chasing his seven children, he co-hosts the OnScript podcast. A Protestant by conviction, Bates holds a PhD in theology (New Testament) from the University of Notre Dame. His popular titles include Salvation by Allegiance Alone, Why the Gospel?, The Gospel Precisely, and The Birth of the Trinity. He lives with his family in Quincy, Illinois.

Earlier this year, John MacArthur said that Martin Luther King Jr. was “a nonbeliever who misrepresented everything about Christ and the gospel.” Last week, Justin Giboney responded with an article in CT explaining why MacArthur was wrong about MLK. This leads Phil, Kaitlyn, and Skye to ask when is it appropriate to define who is, and who is not, a true Christian, and what criteria should we use? Theologian Matthew Bates is back to discuss his new book, “Why the Gospel?” He defines six popular “malformed” gospels, and why bypassing the importance of Jesus' kingship is dangerous for the church.

Strength to Strength welcomed Paul Garber to help us refocus our vision to better read Paul's epistles in their historical context.When we open our Bibles and read Romans, Ephesians, Colossians or Galatians, (or any book of the Bible for that matter) we must realize that these letters or books are part of a larger story, and that to properly understand their message we must read them as part of that larger story. The larger story is the entire story of human history from creation to new creation. But if we zoom in a little bit, a big part of this larger story is God's covenants with Abraham and later the nation of Israel.Through Israel, Jesus the long awaited redeemer and King, the Messiah, appears on the scene and announces the arrival of the kingdom of God.Paul was an apostle of Jesus Christ, and as an apostle his message expounded upon the message of Jesus. The Good News of the kingdom of God as promised to Israel. And through Israel to the whole world.With this history and context in mind, we approach the writings of the great apostle Paul.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.Recommended: “Salvation by Allegience Alone” by Matthew W. Bates

"The world has changed. The cost to follow Jesus is going up. Are you prepared to pay?" Though written in the 1st Century, the letter to the Hebrews recorded in the New Testament has much to say to us in the 21st Century about persevering in the cause of Christ.Tom Sims is a graduate of the World of Life Bible Institute and has served various churches as youth pastor and teacher.

This is Episode 76 of The Jesus Society Podcast, today I want to revisit a subject most Christians have fussed about since the Reformation. And that is the idea of faith and works. This is not an unimportant topic, but I believe it has been polarized by the issues of the Reformation, and that polarization has caused us to lose sight of some things and to see both of these things with the clarity that Scripture demands. Those things are what I hope to try and sort out today. Join me today as we discuss: 1. The briefest history of the Protestant Reformation. 2. The Protestant evolution and how these issues have played out over the last 500 years. 3. Understanding the "faith only" camp. 4. Understanding the "other" camp. 5. Two definitions of "faith." 6. The biblical perspective on faith. 7. The biblical perspective of works. 8. The book of James to the rescue. 9. How the Enlightenment has caused us to obsess about the wrong things in this issue. 10. Faith and works - two sides of the same coin? 11. Some wise words from N. T. Wright. ______________________________ As always, we'd appreciate it if you'd tell others about the podcast.

How has the church's understanding of salvation grown and shifted over time? What are common misunderstandings that Catholics and Protestants have about salvation? How has this impacted the church? And what is the future of justification as that connects to ecumenical efforts? Eminent church historian Alister McGrath (University of Oxford) has been research and writing about the history of salvation in the church for over 40 years. In light of his freshly revised monograph, Iustitia Dei, McGrath leads us on a tour of the history of the Christian doctrine. Co-hosted by Matthew W. Bates. The post Alister McGrath – Doctrine of Justification first appeared on OnScript.

Philippians 3:1-11, Matthew 13:44“With regard to eternal salvation, rather than speaking of belief, trust, or faith in Jesus, we should speak instead of fidelity to Jesus as cosmic Lord or allegiance to Jesus the king.” Matthew W. Bates

Jeff Hickman starts off our series for August 2020 on The Kingdom of God.THE KINGDOM OF GOD: INAUGURATION"There is only one gospel...it is the transformative story of how Jesus, who preexisted as Son of God, came to be entrhoned as the universal king...Jesus proclaimed the one gospel by announcing the inaugation of the kingdom of God as well as its anticipated culmination." (From Salvation by Allegiance Alone by Matthew W. Bates) Some questions for reflection:Where in scripture do we see that Jesus's central teaching was on The Good News of the Kingdom of God?Is this different than the view you previously had on the meaning of "The Good News" or "The Gospel"? If so, how is it different?How is God's Kingdom at odds with earthly kingdoms today?How does individualism make the Kingdom of God smaller than it is supposed to be?Read Psalm 2, Isaiah 9:6-7, and Daniel 7:13-14What are your reactions when viewing these prophetic passages together?How did Jesus fulfill these passages in his life, death, and resurrection?What are the implications of Jesus being sovereign and King over us?1 Samuel 8:4-9Why does Israel ask for a King? Are there any parallels here to us and our lives?Why does God say that through this demand the people have rejected Him as their King?What does God's warning mean in verse 9?Things to consider:In what ways do you see the nations rejecting or accepting the reign and rule of God?In what ways do you struggle to accept the reign of God in your own life?How can the cosmic, universal plan of Jesus's kingship express itself in the life of our church? In our individual lives?Good idea for this week:Pray to understand what Jesus meant when he talked about the Kingdom. Click here for more resources on this sermon.

Thomas Jay Oord OnScript Podcast Interview on The Uncontrolling Love of God with Matthew W. Bates

Matthew W. Bates (Ph.D., University of Notre Dame) is Associate Professor of Theology at Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois. He is pressing the church towards a new precision: we are saved solely by allegiance to Jesus the king. Instead of faith alone, Christians must speak about salvation by allegiance alone.  About the Book:  We are saved by faith when we trust that Jesus died for our sins. This is the gospel, or so we are taught. But what is faith? And does this accurately summarize the gospel? Because faith is frequently misunderstood and the climax of the gospel misidentified, the gospel's full power remains untapped. While offering a fresh proposal for what faith means within a biblical theology of salvation, Matthew Bates presses the church toward a new precision: we are saved solely by allegiance to Jesus the king. Instead of faith alone, Christians must speak about salvation by allegiance alone. The book includes discussion questions for students, pastors, and church groups and a foreword by Scot McKnight. About the Author:  Matthew W. Bates (PhD, University of Notre Dame) is assistant professor of theology at Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois. He is the author of The Hermeneutics of the Apostolic Proclamation and The Birth of the Trinity.

Evangelicals, grab your Noah's ark replicas. Atheists, seize your Darwinian fish symbols. It's the mother of all culture wars. Except Dennis Venema and Scot McKnight, who both hold traditional evangelical Christian convictions, suggest that the war is needless. In their book 'Adam and the Genome' they suggest that It is okay to acknowledge the Jesus fish and to affirm that humans and fish descend from common ancestors. How did Dennis, an evolutionary biologist, and Scot, a New Testament scholar, come together to collaborate? What new evidence has emerged about the human genome in support of evolution? And the crux: How can we make sense of the Bible's description of Adam and Eve as the first humans in light of multiple strands of evidence that suggests humans evolved as a group of no less than 10,000? Hosted by Matthew W. Bates. The post Dennis Venema and Scot McKnight – Adam and the Genome first appeared on OnScript.

This is a conversation with scholar and author Matthew Bates. We talk about a little word with a big meaning: pistis. This Greek word is often translated "faith" or "faithfulness" but we discuss how it might be better to translate it as "allegiance." Matthew W. Bates is Associate Professor of Theology at Quincy University in Quincy, Illinois. Bates holds a Ph.D. from The University of Notre Dame in theology with a specialization is New Testament and early Christianity. His books include Salvation by Allegiance Alone (Baker Academic), The Birth of the Trinity (Oxford University Press, 2015), and The Hermeneutics of the Apostolic Proclamation (Baylor University Press, 2012).
