In this conversation, Hakeem Bradley and Danielle Strickland explore the themes of spiritual warfare, the power of love and generosity, the concept of original sin as passive participation, and the awakening potential of scripture. They discuss the authority given to humanity, the wisdom from above, and the true nature of power as demonstrated by Jesus. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of living generously and the transformative power of love in combating darkness.Takeaways* Hakeem Bradley's journey from the 5% Nation to biblical scholarship is profound.* The Bible can be a tool for liberation, not oppression.* Understanding the cultural context of scripture is crucial.* Genesis sets the foundation for understanding powers and principalities.* Equity is inherent in the creation narrative of Genesis.* The line of the woman and the line of the snake represent spiritual allegiances.* The wisdom from above is accessible to all believers.* The church has a role in crushing spiritual oppression.* Hakeem's work aims to equip families for biblical literacy.* The narrative of Genesis challenges patriarchal interpretations. We join in with Christ's mission to defeat darkness.* Living generously and hospitably is a form of spiritual warfare.* Original sin is about passive participation in evil.* Scripture serves as an awakening tool for believers.* Authority was given to humanity to rule wisely.* The snake symbolizes twisted authority in creation.* True power is often perceived as weakness in the world.* Choosing not to retaliate reflects true strength.* The wisdom of God is accessible to us now.* Engaging with scripture shapes our understanding and actions.About HakeemHakeem is a biblical scholar, teacher, blogger, and researcher.

Tat-siong Benny Liew, Ph.D. is Professor, Class of 1956 Chair in New Testament Studies at Holy Cross College. In this rich and reflective conversation, Dr. Nancy Lynne Westfield and Dr. Tat-siong Benny Liew explore the complexities of mentoring within academic and theological contexts. They discuss mentoring as a relational, communal, and intergenerational practice rather than a top-down, ego-driven model. Emphasizing listening over advice-giving, they critique hierarchical approaches and advocate for mutual, organic relationships built on trust and care. Both speakers highlight the importance of multiple mentors across one's career, including peer and reverse mentoring, and the vital role mentoring plays in sustaining intellectual and theological traditions. The episode concludes with reflections on mentoring as a form of invisible labor and collective responsibility to nurture future scholars.

In this episode we're joined by Professor Dale C. Allison Jr., who is the Richard J. Dearborn Professor of New Testament Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary and the author of Interpreting Jesus (published by Eerdmans). Over the course of our conversation we talked about why Prof. Allison chose to write this book as a collection of essays, how he used the volume as a venue to chart some new ways forward in his thinking and even to make some revisions to his previous work. We also talk about the prospect of changing your mind in print like this, and what advice he has for upcoming New Testament scholars. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: Dr. Josh Carroll and Dr. John Anthony Dunne. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode of The Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony explore Paul's letter to Philemon, unpacking its rich theological and practical implications. At the heart of the discussion is Paul's appeal for Onesimus, a runaway slave who has become a Christian. Paul's letter serves as a vivid demonstration of how the gospel transforms relationships, highlighting the themes of forgiveness, restitution, and reconciliation. The hosts reflect on the radical nature of grace, which not only calls for the restoration of broken relationships but also compels believers to go above and beyond in their love and service to one another. Jesse and Tony dive into the profound theological principles embedded in Paul's words, including substitutionary atonement and the unity of believers in Christ. They explore how Paul's appeal models the gospel itself, showcasing Christ's substitution on behalf of sinners. The letter is not just a personal plea but also a public call to let the grace of Christ reshape every aspect of Christian conduct and community. This episode challenges listeners to consider how their own relationships and interactions reflect the gospel's transformative power. The discussion also touches on practical applications of Christian unity, such as church membership and the unique bonds between believers. The hosts examine what it means to live out the radical call to Christian fellowship in everyday life, from supporting fellow believers in times of need to fostering harmony in the church. With humor, depth, and compelling insights, this episode encourages listeners to embrace the scandalously generous grace of God in all their relationships. Key Points: Paul's Letter to Philemon as a Model of Gospel Transformation Paul's appeal for Onesimus reflects key gospel principles such as forgiveness, reconciliation, and substitution, illustrating how the gospel reshapes relationships and communities. The Radical Unity of Believers The episode highlights the unity of Christians as a reflection of the unity found in the Trinity. This unity has profound implications for how believers treat one another in both personal and public spheres. Restitution and Responsibility in Christian Conduct Jesse and Tony discuss Paul's emphasis on restitution, noting that conversion does not erase past wrongs but increases the believer's responsibility to make things right in light of the gospel. Practical Implications of Christian Fellowship The hosts explore how the biblical call to Christian unity should impact relationships in various contexts, including church membership, workplace dynamics, and neighborly interactions. The Scandal of Grace Grace is presented as a radical and scandalous force that calls believers to love, forgive, and restore relationships in ways that mirror Christ's love for His people. Questions for Reflection: How does Paul's appeal for Onesimus challenge your understanding of forgiveness and restitution? In what ways can you reflect the unity of believers in your relationships with fellow Christians? How does the concept of substitutionary atonement impact the way you view your responsibilities toward others? Are there areas in your life where you struggle to extend grace or reconciliation to others? How can your involvement in your local church reflect the radical unity and love described in Paul's letter to Philemon?

In this episode, Jesse and Tony dive into the letter of Philemon, exploring its rich themes of forgiveness, reconciliation, and Christian unity. As a follow-up to their study of Colossians, this episode highlights how the gospel transforms relationships and challenges believers to live out their faith in practical ways. Paul's appeal to Philemon serves as a powerful example of applying theology to real-life situations, emphasizing the importance of love and mutual partnership in faith. The discussion unpacks Paul's unique rhetorical approach in addressing Philemon. Instead of commanding him, Paul appeals to him out of love, trusting in his faith and Christian maturity to guide his response to Onesimus, a former slave. Jesse and Tony also reflect on the deeper implications of Christian fellowship, or "koinonia," as a bond that transcends social and cultural divisions, uniting believers in Christ. The episode challenges listeners to consider how they live out the gospel in their own relationships and communities. By highlighting the practical application of Paul's teachings, Jesse and Tony encourage believers to reflect on their own love, unity, and willingness to forgive and reconcile. Key Points: The Fellowship of Faith: Paul emphasizes the shared bond of faith, or "koinonia," between himself, Philemon, and Onesimus, which serves as the foundation for his appeal. Paul's Rhetorical Approach: Rather than commanding Philemon, Paul appeals to him for love's sake, trusting his Christian character and maturity to guide his response. Living Out the Gospel: The letter challenges believers to reflect on how they demonstrate forgiveness, reconciliation, and unity within their own relationships and communities. Questions for Reflection: How does the concept of "koinonia" challenge your understanding of Christian fellowship and community? In what ways can you practice forgiveness and reconciliation in your relationships, as Paul encourages Philemon to do? What does it mean to live out the gospel in practical ways within your own sphere of influence?

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.

Joel spoke with repeat guest Nijay Gupta and first-time guest Melissa Barciela Mandala about Paul's notion of "love." They discuss the impulse to find a "theological center" to Paul's New Testament writings, the success of Nijay's attempt to locate the love of God as this "center," and of course, what we are all currently reading and enjoying.Nijay K. Gupta is Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. He is co-editor of the Dictionary of Paul and His Letters (2nd ed.), The State of New Testament Studies, The State of Pauline Studies, and serves as a senior translator for the New Living Translation.

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.

When we think of the Apostle Paul, we often picture a stern, unyielding figure - the finger-wagging scold, laying down the law for the early Christian communities. But my guest today, Nijay Gupta, is here to shatter that perception and reveal the beating heart at the center of Paul's theology. In Nijay's new book, "The Affections of Christ Jesus," he makes a captivating case that what truly animates Paul's writings is an overwhelming, spilling-over affection - a profound, personal love that should reorient our entire understanding of the gospel message. As we dive into this conversation, Nijay makes the case that the dominant theological frameworks we've used to interpret Paul's work - the camps of justification by faith, the apocalyptic Paul, salvation history are missing something. He argues that what's been missing is a central focus on love, on the emotional, relational dimension that lies at the core of Paul's vision. And Nijay doesn't stop there. He also brings in the insights of Augustine, the great theologian of love, exploring how our deepest loves - not just our intellectual beliefs - are what truly shape the trajectory of our lives. So join me as we explore the affections that lie at the center of Paul's writings - the love that should be the starting point, not the afterthought, of our theology.Nijay Gupta (DPhil, University of Durham) has written several academic books including Paul and the Language of Faith, and Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church.

In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood, Jesse and Tony delve into Colossians 1:15–20, one of the most profound passages in the New Testament that highlights the supremacy and preeminence of Christ. They explore how this passage serves as a theological anchor, emphasizing Christ's role as Creator, Sustainer, and Reconciler of all things. By unpacking the rich doctrinal truths within this section of Scripture, the hosts show how Paul's words both exalt Christ and address the sufficiency of His work for salvation and reconciliation. The conversation begins by connecting the passage to Paul's broader purpose in Colossians—countering false teachings that diminish Christ's sufficiency. Jesse and Tony emphasize how this "Christological anthem" asserts Christ's universal relevance, not only as the Creator of the cosmos but also as the head of the Church and the source of reconciliation for all creation. They address the layered structure of the passage, reflecting on its poetic rhythm and theological depth, which together form a vivid picture of Christ's unparalleled authority and role in redemption. From understanding Christ as the image of the invisible God to unpacking what it means for Him to hold all things together, Jesse and Tony draw out practical implications for believers. They challenge listeners to reflect on how Christ's preeminence shapes their worship and daily lives and encourage a deeper engagement with Scripture as the ultimate revelation of God in Christ. Key Points: Christ as the Image of the Invisible God: The episode explores how Christ reveals the nature of God to humanity, making the invisible visible. He is the fullness of God in bodily form, perfectly representing the Father. Christ as Creator and Sustainer: Jesse and Tony highlight that all things—visible and invisible, earthly and heavenly—were created through Christ, for Christ, and are held together by Him. His sustaining power underlines His universal authority. Christ as Reconciler: The discussion emphasizes that through the blood of His cross, Christ reconciles all things to Himself, securing peace and restoring creation. This reconciliation highlights His sufficiency for salvation and the futility of seeking anything outside of Him. The Practical Implications of Christ's Supremacy: The hosts reflect on how Christ's preeminence demands our worship, shapes our understanding of salvation, and calls us to live in alignment with His lordship. Questions for Reflection: What does it mean for Christ to be the image of the invisible God, and how does this deepen your understanding of Him? How does recognizing Christ as Creator and Sustainer impact the way you view the world and your place in it? In what ways does the reconciliation achieved through Christ challenge or encourage you in your faith journey? How can the truth of Christ's preeminence shape your worship and daily life?

In the Gospel of Mark (6:4), Jesus says, "A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown and among his relatives and in his own household". Jesus said this in Nazareth, where he was rejected by his family and neighbors. The people of his home town knew Jesus well, but they didn't believe who he was. They called him "the son of Mary" to reject his virgin birth and Messianic claims. Jesus was unable to perform miracles in Nazareth because of their lack of faith.

Bible Study Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: . Sermon Outline Kneel before the King who (i) masters us more gracious, (ii) rivals us more masterfully, and (iii) wounds us more transformingly, than we could dare to imagine. Sermon Questions Who is the other figure in Matthew's Gospel who demands that someone fall down and worship him? (See Matthew 4:9.) Why is this scene significant for the story Matthew tells? The magi's gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh have long been understood to refer, theologically, to almsgiving, prayer, and fasting. How are you doing in offering Christ these gifts? St Augustine said, "Change of way means change of life." As you leave this study, you also go out — like the magi — "by another way." In what immediate ways will your life need to change?

Can Christians reckon with when the Bible is at odds with their political preferences, passions and prejudices? That just depends on who you ask. So we asked Dr. Tommy Givens, Assoc. Professor of New Testament Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary (and a pastor's kid to boot!), about Scripture, the church in America, and what the results of the election has revealed about it all.   We're on YouTube!  https://www.youtube.com/@politicsandreligion   It would mean so much if you could leave us a review: https://ratethispodcast.com/goodfaithpolitics   In this episode, we go deep: When did Tommy start to question the prevailing orthodoxy of the fundamentalist church of his youth? Evangelism - Is it simply persuading others "to be like me"? Or is it about joining life with our neighbors? What does Christianity have to say about war, friendship, and how to navigate a broken family? Should Christians work to occupy positions of power? (First, we need to ask whether Christians are necessarily good.) How can we negotiate life, politics, share a country or even just a meal with people who aren't like us? Are we reducing people's lives to the terms of this candidate vs. that candidate? And the art of strolling...   Let us know what you think.

In this episode, we'll be continuing our discussion on the preterist interpretation of the book of Hebrews. Last time, we looked at some evidence from Hebrews related to the persecution of Christians and how that might suggest the book was written before the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 AD. Today, we're going to dig deeper into the text of Hebrews itself, examining whether the author's descriptions of the temple sacrificial system indicate it was still ongoing at the time of writing. Professor of New Testament Studies, Dr. Marcus Mininger, will walk us through some of the key passages in Hebrews and the nuances of the Greek language that shed light on the timing of when this epistle was composed. He'll weigh the evidence and consider how much this dating question really matters for how we interpret the message and theology of Hebrews.

In this episode, Dr. Marcus Mininger, Professor of New Testament Studies, looks at the world of biblical interpretation, specifically examining preterist interpretations of the book of Hebrews. His discussion centers around a key question that has intrigued scholars for centuries: Was the Book of Hebrews written before or after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple in 70 AD? Perhaps more importantly, he'll explore whether this dating question is as crucial to understanding Hebrews as some might think. Dr. Mininger begins by examining evidence of Roman persecution in the early church and what it might tell us about when Hebrews was written.

Recent scholarship focused on the role of embodiment within cognition and communication reminds us that part of how we “know” is through our physical senses. We only know the softness of a kitten by touching its fur, or the tastiness of bread by eating. How might this influence our understanding of biblical texts, such as Jesus's claim, “I am the bread of life,” and the invitation to eat? Sensing Salvation in the Gospel of John: The Embodied, Sensory Qualities of Participation in the I Am Sayings (Brill, 2023) explores the I am sayings of John's Gospel, their sensory elements providing an imaginative entry into the narrative and contributing tangible value to the participatory theology of the Fourth Gospel. Jeannine Hanger has been involved in the Biola community since 2000. She earned a Master of Arts (2004) and Master of Theology (2009) at Talbot in New Testament Studies and has been teaching undergraduates in an adjunct role since 2009. She recently completed her doctoral studies (2021) at the University of Aberdeen, also in the New Testament. Her research interests revolve around the Gospels. More specifically she has enjoyed exploring literary approaches to texts seen alongside their ancient world contexts. Her thesis focused on participation with Christ in John's Gospel, which led to an examination of sensory imagery, metaphor, and sense perception in ancient texts. These embodied approaches highlight concrete, tangible, and affective qualities of participation with Christ. This ties into her heart for students to know God through the Word with every aspect of their beings: heart, soul, mind, and strength. As the wife of a pastor, Jeannine has also been deeply invested in the local church.

Noah has an in-depth conversation with his former seminary professor Dr. David Turner about macro trends in Christian colleges and seminaries, and deep concerns about Noah's alma mater and Dr. Turner's employer of 32 years, Cornerstone University & Grand Rapids Theological Seminary. The conversation will address abusive leadership, dishonesty and manipulation, and merging Christianity with politics, all while boldly claiming to be Christ-centered. This conversation comes from a deep love both Noah and David have for Cornerstone University, and a responsibility they feel to speak up for Kingdom values.    We hope this creates a space for CU/GRTS alumni to process and grieve, and for those who aren't connected with the school to think critically about trends within American Christianity and how that compares to the Jesus of the Bible.    You don't have to agree with everything we say in this conversation.

"The kingdom of God is all about Jesus." - Derek Morphew.   "For the Kingdom to come, the will of God is to be done on earth as it's done in heaven." - Derek Morphew. "It's a necessity to discover the gospel of the kingdom before the end can come." - Ken Fish.  "God communicates to us through story. The big story of scripture is creation to new creation, and the new creation is the kingdom of God." - Derek Morphew. "We are being invited to God's unfolding story of the world." - Ken Fish.  "We have hope because the new world has already happened in the life and ministry of Jesus." - Ken Fish.  "We have gentilized the gospel and have been drawn away from the Hebraic concepts of our faith." - Ken Fish. "We are coming up to a conference called IGNITION, building a sustainable move of God. We want a Move of God that is sustainable and could potentially go 300 to 400 years if Jesus tarries. We want to get back to original Biblical foundations because if we do that we will have tracks to run on that will literally shake a civilization and transform a society." - Ken Fish.  "To operate in the Prophetic is to operate in the charismatic gifts." - Derek Morphew 

In this episode, Kim Dickson talks with Dr. Nijay Gupta about the New Testament women he highlights in his Book Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church. Women who are little known to the average contemporary Christian come alive as Nijay discusses the world in which these remarkable women lived, served, and suffered on behalf of Jesus. Nijay describes the importance of letter carriers in the Roman world and the significance of Paul choosing Phoebe for this important work. He also discusses the translation and theological issues that hid Junia's apostleship as a woman.     Bio   Dr. Nijay K. Gupta is professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. He has written or edited over twenty books including A Beginner's Guide to New Testament Studies, Paul and the Language of Faith, and the award-winning and bestselling Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church.

What made the first Christians so different from their surrounding culture?  How did their worship differ from the way the average Roman citizen viewed the gods?  Why did the early church view themselves as a family and why is that so significant?  We'll discuss these questions and more with our guest Dr. Nijay Gupta around his new book, Strange Religion: How the First Christians were Weird, Dangerous and Compelling.Nijay K.

Noelle shares her questions about the Bible and its translation throughout history. Jeannine shares her personal faith journey and her passion for the New Testament. Jeannine discusses students' doubt and skepticism over the Bible and the things she sometimes shares with them. She explains why she lives by the Bible's authority and how it can be relevant to people today. Towards the end of the conversation, there is a discussion about authenticity in the Bible- in passages of scripture that weren't part of the oldest manuscripts, and in the historical facts of Jesus' life and death. Jeannine shares about the compelling story of Mary of Bethany and why the tangible things mentioned in scripture are so meaningful to her. We hope you enjoy today's episode!    About Jeannine Jeannine Hanger has been involved with Biola University since 2000. She earned a Master of Arts (2004) and Master of Theology (2009) at Talbot in New Testament Studies and has taught undergraduates in an adjunct role since 2009.

In this episode of the Reformed Brotherhood Podcast, hosts Jesse Schwamb and Tony Arsenal delve into a deep discussion on John 3:16, one of the most quoted verses in the Bible. They tackle this well-worn path from a fresh perspective, discussing the nuances of the Greek language and the importance of understanding the original text. They also explore the significance of belief, the intent of the atonement, and God's specific purpose in sending His Son into the world. Listen in as they challenge common interpretations and encourage a deeper understanding of this central expression of Salvation.

The question of the historicity of Jesus' resurrection has been repeatedly investigated, probed, and discussed. This week on Unbelievable we will add to the debate by asking ‘Did it really happen – the Resurrection of Jesus?' dissecting the narratives of Jesus' death and Resurrection. We've got two eminent scholars – who are good friends but with diametrically opposed beliefs on the authenticity of this pivotal event that forms the basis for the Christian worldview.    Dr. Mike Licona, a New Testament scholar, an expert on the intricate details of events surrounding the death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ in first century Palestine, examines their historical reliability.  Dr. Larry Shapiro a sceptic on such matters, challenges these assertions and offers alternative explanations that he believes are more plausible.   The show also tackles reconciling discrepancies in the Resurrection accounts - does that strengthen or weaken the arguments that these events happened?    And even if the historical reliability of ancient texts is established, can we apply these texts to 21st century life from a philosophical perspective? Dr. Mike Licona presents the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus. If the Resurrection happened, and Jesus conquered death for all who put their trust in Him it's a question we cannot not ignore.   Prof. Larry Shapiro Lawrence Shapiro is the Berent Enç Professor of Philosophy at the University of Wisconsin — Madison.

Dr. Nijay Gupta is my bright and thoughtful guest on this episode. Dr. Gupta is a professor at Northern Seminary, and he's also the author of a book I drank in, marked up, and talked out loud to the entire time I was reading it. It's that kind of book. Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church, made me wonder how I've read the names of real women in the Bible, some of them over and over, and yet didn't know their stories or the way their stories intersect with ALL of our stories. A conversation that inspired me, taught me, and made me cry off mic, listen in to my chat with Dr. Nijay Gupta. Nijay K. Gupta is professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary. He has written or edited over twenty books including Paul and the Language of Faith, A Beginner's Guide to New Testament Studies and the award-winner and best-selling book Tell Her Story: How Women Led, Taught, and Ministered in the Early Church.
