In this episode, we invite Dr. Gregory Lanier to discuss the New Perspectives on Paul (NPP)—what the view is, its historical context, and its implications for understanding the book of Galatians.What are the New Perspectives on Paul? Should Christians today be open to a fresh look at Paul's theology, specifically around "justification"? What are the dangers of this belief system? And how does all of that impact a church's study through the book of Galatians?Join us as we discuss the NPP together.TakeawaysThe New Perspective on Paul challenges traditional views on how "justification" is defined, and Galatians serves as a critical text for these debates.Key figures like N.T. Wright have significantly influenced modern scholarship of the NPP.Pastoral implications arise from how we interpret justification and community.A balanced view of the gospel includes both personal and communal aspects.Connect With Us providenceomaha.org | Instagram | Facebook Email Us formation@providenceomaha.org

Find out my recommendations that will revolutionize your Bible study and elevate your understanding of God's plan for your life and career.

It's easy to get cynical—about people, the church, even God. In this episode, we talk honestly about where that cynicism comes from and how it shows up in our lives. But we also explore how to keep our hearts soft, hold on to hope, and move toward something better.Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Children's Creativity StudyPhilip's Blog Post: Shame⁠All The Buried Women Podcast⁠Becoming the Pastor's Wife by Beth Allison BarrSurprised by Hope by NT Wright

“Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus. The brothers and sisters who are with me send greetings. All God's people here send you greetings, especially those who belong to Caesar's household. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen” (Philippians 4:21-23). Well, friends, a summer of slow and steady attention has brought us to the end of Paul's letter to the church in Philippi. Today's devotional will be the last installment of Wilderness Wanderings for the summer, as we have reached a natural conclusion with these last verses of Philippians. There will not be a podcast tomorrow, nor throughout the month of August. However, Pastor Michael is making plans for a new version of Wilderness Wanderings in the fall. More information on that to come, so stay tuned.  For now, let's take a look at these last verses of Philippians 4. As we discussed with the opening of the letter, to close with greetings such as these that we read in today's verses would have been a convention of letter-writing in the ancient world. But as with all of Paul's letters, he uses the conventions of the genre to make particular theological points. Verse 21 is translated in the NIV “Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus.” However, scholars point out that this could also be translated “Greet every saint [or] holy person in Christ Jesus.” Not only does this indicate his personal affection for members of this community, it also has the rhetorical effect of building on his council to the church at other points in the letter about living in unity with one another.  To a church experiencing conflict, as we discussed earlier in chapter 4, Paul's encouragement to “greet every saint in Christ Jesus” was a challenge. And the command to do so “in Christ Jesus” is a reminder again of the fact that their unity is not in their agreement, but in their shared identity in Christ. Paul then offers greetings on behalf of “all God's people here.” Paul has spoken frequently in the letter of the challenges of persecution and false teaching faced by the church in Philippi, along with their internal division. Offering greetings from others who are in his company, perhaps those nearer him also providing support in the midst of his imprisonment, was a reminder to the Philippian church that they were not alone in their difficulties. They were part of a broader movement of Christ-followers also experiencing joys and sorrows, honour and shame, God's provision and persecution by those around them. This small church was part of something much bigger than themselves, and Paul thought it important in all his letters to remind the churches of this reality. On this note, as Paul offers his farewell to the Philippian church, perhaps this is an appropriate moment for me to offer my own word of farewell to you, my friends at Immanuel CRC. This is my last Wilderness Wanderings podcast as your pastoral intern, and my last day with you will be this Sunday, August 3. In my first Wilderness Wanderings devotional back at the beginning of my time with you, I quoted New Testament scholar NT Wright, who described the letter to the Philippian church as “overflowing with effervescent joy” and “sparkling with the delight of family affection.” As I reflect now at the end of my last week with you, I find in myself a similar sentiment, a deep joy and affection for my time with you this summer. While I would not claim to have nearly the same travel or missional resume as Paul, as I read his letters, and have paid particular attention to his letter to the Philippian church this summer, I see the longing in his words for the communities that he travels to and from throughout his career, and it resonates with my own spirit and the travelling to and fro nature of my own ministry over the last number of years. That Immanuel has been the most recent stop on this journey is something for which I am deeply grateful to God. I will miss you all.  And yet, I will carry you with me. It's one of the greatest gifts of the way in which God has formed his church, that we belong to each other. And so as I continue to travel and discern what God has next for me, I will take your greetings to your siblings in Christ in the places that I go with me. And I will hope to return to you with similar greetings from them should God give me the opportunity to do so in the future. Know that you will be held in my heart and before the throne of God in prayer. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see how God is at work among you this summer. May “the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.” And as you journey on, go with the blessing of God: May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing; at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.  

NT Wright is Senior Research fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, the former Bishop of Durham and a prolific author. Justin talks to Tom about his most recent book 'The Challenge of Acts'. How does the rise of the early church under the the Roman Empire - often through miracles, signs and wonders - speak to our post-Christian west and the modern search for meaning? Their conversation includes a deep dive into Paul's famous stand off with the philosophers of Athens in Acts 17. What does the famous sermon on Mars Hill have to say to a church seeking to speak to a world that is often hostile to Christian faith?

Pentecost Series: Church and Mission Mobilized by the Holy Spirit.kljq cfTdfn] kl/rfnLt d08nL / dL;g“Pentecost is the epicenter” The Holy Spirit, S. Ferguson  “Easter and Pentecost belong together. Easter commissions Jesus' followers to a task; Pentecost gives the necessary equipment to accomplish it.” NT Wright.  The meaning of the Pentecost must be attached to the Old Testament and the life of Jesus Christ, because that is how God revealed it and how the disciples understood it. And the Pentecost has deep rooted meaning for us in the present. But, the Pentecost is not a floating idea of “power of the Spirit” “free for all” to “grab and go”, “apply as you wish”. Nor is it an interesting history archived in the past. We must understand the Triune God, and the third person in the Trinity. We must see God's project plan aright through the Pentecost. This series will study the Bible sources, and discern what the Holy Spirit is saying to the church today, in terms of church's identity and mission vocation.              Pentecost publicly marks the transition from the old to the new covenant, and signifies the commencement of the ‘now' of the day of salvation (2 Cor 6:2). Pentecost is the epicenter, it ripples throughout the book of Acts, everywhere we see the Holy Spirit is manifested. Ferguson says, “The purpose for which the Spirit is given is nothing less than the reproduction of the image of God, …transformation into the likeness of Christ.” (Ferguson, The Holy Spirit, 92).              People throughout history and across Nepal have interpreted Pentecost to mean many things. Some think the Holy Spirit is a force to be reckoned with; power to receive and work with, be it for good things to do in the world here and now. There's so much confusion about the person, nature, and work of the Holy Spirit, therefore confusion about our vocation today.        In this series we will look at the meaning from the OT and the NT to understand what the Pentecost meant for the people then and means for us now. Our focus will be however, to understand what Pentecost means for us now as a church and our mission- vocation we're called to in this time and space.            Why did God give His Spirit to the church in time and context? Do we really know God the Holy Spirit? What is He here to do? How do we know and discern the Holy Spirit? What is He doing in the Church? What is the mission of the Church filled with the Holy Spirit?

Listen along as we continue through the book of Acts. Notes//Quotes: Acts 7:1-60 1 Pet 3:8-17 “God is everywhere present. The holy place is there wherever God may be.” - Chrysostom “No harm can be done to the temple and the law, when Christ is openly established as the end and truth of both.” - John Calvin “Stephen has been confessing Christ before men, and now he sees Christ confessing his servant before God.” FF Bruce  “The Jesus who was right then interceding for Stephen had taught him that intercession, rather than cursing, was the way of the new, fulfilled, law and Temple.” - NT Wright

In recent days, N. T. Wright made some remarks on the morality of abortion and the necessity of believing in the bodily resurrection of Jesus. Regarding abortion, he essentially articulated the view that early abortions are morally acceptable, particularly in the cases of rape, incest, and physical deformity. Regarding the resurrection, while Write believes that Jesus was raised bodily from the dead and this should be a normative belief for Christians, he does not think a denial of this doctrine necessarily makes one a heretic who is bereft of salvation. I think he is wrong on both counts, and explain why.I end the episode with a Pet the Peeve segment about driving. Web: ThinkingtoBelieve.comEmail: ThinkingToBelieve@gmail.comFacebook: facebook.com/thinkingtobelieveTwitter & Gettr: @thinking2believTruth: @ThinkingToBelieveParler: @thinkingtobelieve

Pentecost Sunday 2025 6-8-25 "The work of the Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ, to guide us to all truth, to teach us all things, to comfort the believer, and to convict the world of sin.” D.L. Moody Acts 1:4-8 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized withwater, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” 6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” 7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Acts 2:1-4 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

You Will Receive Power "The Christian life is not meant to be lived dryly or wearily, but to be a life of overflowing water and rushing wind, filled with the presence of God." - Jon Tyson & Suzy Silk "God's Spirit continues to hover over the chaos of the world's evil and our sin and shapes a new creation and new creatures. Pentecost means that God is not a spectator, in turn amused and alarmed at world history; rather, he is a participant. Pentecost means that the invisible is more important the the visible, at any single moment and at any single event we choose to examine. Pentecost means that everything, especially everything that looks to us like wreckage, is material God is using to make a praising life." - Eugene Peterson When the Holy Spirit Comes: 1. You Will Receive Power 2. You Will Be My Witnesses "Many Jews longed for a new event in which the divine glory would fill Israels's Temple once more... The wind and fire of Pentecost answers to this expectation, indicating that now the Temple is a community, not a building. The church, as the spirit filled Temple of God, goes into the world with the fresh wind and fire, living out its vocation to be a light to the nations, burning ever more brightly. " - NT Wright "If I were to define what for me makes up the core Pentecostal identity it is the lived conviction that everything, absolutely everything, in the scriptures is livable. Not just true, but livable. Not just an idea or a cause, but livable in real life. Everything that is revealed in Jesus and the scriptures, the gospel, is there to be lived by ordinary Christians in ordinary times." - Eugene Peterson

David Hocking has put together several Annotated Scriptures. We'll discuss his latest book, which is sort of an Annotated Doctrine & Covenants. It is called "The Revelations of Joseph Smith." We'll also discuss his previous books, and dive into revelations on the coming forth of the Book of Mormon & the Church of Christ. Check out our conversation... https://youtu.be/JjvC2RZtJrM Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission David Hocking, described as a "scripture publisher" and editor, who is known for reformatting traditional scriptural texts to help readers engage with them more smoothly. By taking the existing text and applying specific elements and styles, Hocking aims to guide the reader and provide additional context and research. His books are often described as a "studied" version of the scripture. Hocking's process involves doing research on words or phrases that appeal to him, highlighting them in a gold color, and then providing additional information in a golden shaded box at the bottom of the page. His journey in scripture publishing began in the '90s when he started reformatting the Book of Mormon for his own use. This eventually led to the Annotated Edition of the Book of Mormon, which incorporated research, including information from the Heartland perspective. This book has been quite successful, with close to 40,000 copies sold and is available through Deseret Book. Following the Book of Mormon, Hocking worked on the Book of Jasher. He clarified that "Jasher" is a title, "Sephur Hayasher," meaning "the book of the upright," and the proper spelling should be Yashar. Interestingly, he notes that there are excerpts of the Book of Jasher in the Book of Mormon, brought over on the plates of brass. This led to a brief discussion on the language of the Book of Mormon, suggesting that Nephi likely learned Demotic Egyptian, a condensed, script-like form, in addition to Hebrew, and that "reformed Egyptian" might refer to a reformed Demotic Egyptian. He also touched on the difference between the Anthon Transcript (described by Martin Harris) and the Caracters Document in John Whitmer's handwriting (which the Church has recently acquired). He noted that handwriting analysis, specifically looking at the cursive "D" with a flourish common in German script, can help identify scribes like John Whitmer in early documents, including sections of the Book of Mormon original manuscript and the Revelation books. He also offered a perspective on the two sets of witnesses (three spiritual, eight physical) and the possibility they saw different sets of plates (the plates in the stone box vs. plates in a repository, potentially the small plates used to replace the lost Book of Lehi pages)10. Other books Hocking has edited include the Book of Isaiah, undertaken as part of the "11th commandment" to diligently search Isaiah. He sent a copy to Dr. Avraham Gileadi, a prominent LDS Isaiah scholar, who liked it. (Incidentally, the host mentioned NT Wright would be speaking on Isaiah in Houston, Texas). Hocking also worked on the Joseph Smith Translation (JST) of the New Testament. For this, he put Joseph Smith's contributions in brackets, using the 1867 first edition text. He mentioned that the Church itself is likely to release a fully done version of the JST in the coming years. He has a new version of his JST New Testament coming out soon as a red-letter edition. He noted that while red-letter Bibles (where the words of Christ are in red) are common elsewhere, they are less familiar in Utah. Another critical project was the Book of Enoch, which he believes explains why Enoch is an important figure and why the Lord referred to him in Moses 6 & 7 and D&C 107. He suggests that Joseph Smith himself became a modern-day Enoch, teaching and building a city of righteousness/Zion. Hocking's latest book,

Church of England rev with a difference Jamie Franklin sits down to talk about the biggest stories in church and state. This time we ask if blasphemy laws have been reintroduced in Britain since the prosecution of protestor Hamit Coskun for burning a Koran and criticising Islam in public. Would such a thing happen to someone burning the Bible? And does the secular state have any defences against the incursion of Islamic sentiment into the public square?All that plus:- Biblical scholar and Anglican bishop NT Wright goes woke on abortion.- Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick goes toe-to-toe with would-be Tube fare dodgers.- And Labour MP seeks to make abortion legal up to birth.Enjoy!Send your children to the King Alfred School! https://www.thekingalfredschool.co.uk/#Would you like to sponsor an episode?

Segment 1: • Baptism isn't optional—are you obeying or just attending? • NYT slams the SBC for decline, but biblically faithful churches are growing. • Upcoming SBC resolutions could shift the direction of the denomination. Segment 2: • Chan throws former church members under the bus with zero accountability. • NT Wright offers a confused, pro-choice stance that fumbles biblical clarity. • Christians need courage to stand for life—and wisdom when speaking on it. Segment 3: • AP targets Ken Ham while Rome sells “apostolic blessings” like souvenirs. • Pastors often quit not from failure, but exhaustion and stagnation. • Leaders must know their limits—and churches must know how to support them. Segment 4: • A 5-cent donation sobers Todd—faith isn't about amount, but sacrifice. • Jehovah's Witnesses offer works-based salvation—but the true Gospel is grace. • When evangelizing cults, aim straight for the conscience with truth. ___ Thanks for listening!

NT Wright on Abortion TOTAL FAIL In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Walter Swaim critically examines a deeply troubling statement made by renowned biblical scholar N.T. Wright regarding abortion. While Wright has made significant contributions to New Testament scholarship, his recent comments reveal a profound departure from the clear teaching of Scripture on the sanctity of life. Dr. Swaim walks us through why Wright's position not only fails to defend the most vulnerable—unborn children—but also undermines the moral and theological foundation of Christian witness. This isn't merely a matter of disagreement; it's a sobering example of how compromising on such a vital issue can cause harm to the church and to the credibility of Christian ethics.

On Easter Day we enter into the Christian calendar, a season of Resurrection. As the body of Christ, in order to follow Christ, we follow as closely as possible the life of Jesus Christ (his life teachings and mission (redemptive purposes).[1] So we will study the topic of “Resurrection and Our Concerns” k'g?yfg / xfd|f] ;/f]sf/ For the next 7 weeks, until Pentecost, we will focus on the various aspects of the Resurrection, and it's meaning for our lives in the 21st century. Resurrection is often thought of in terms of a historical event in the life of Jesus Christ, and people debate over the validity, possibility, and its historical meaning, etc. But, as NT Wright says that Resurrection is not simply about proving a historical event or its logic, rather in his words, “The message of Easter is that God's new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you are now invited to belong to it.” NT Wright. Resurrection is a worldview matter, thus needs to be set in our lives Operating System. Its' something in your mind and heart's eyes, a telescope to see the world with a particular scope, an angle, a perspective (with its colors), like James Webb Telescope cameras that's observing the universe out there far outside our eye's sight. NT Wright says, “Resurrection is a view from future into our present”. It's a reliable account of what God has been cooking up since the creation, mystery now unveiled to us through Christ and his church. Wow, a whole new worldview, a perspective to consider (see Romans 8). Now we can read the whole Bible anew, from Christ's Resurrection and the New Creation perspective.   We will do that in this series, possibly under these following topics, I call “Resurrection Curriculum”: a.     Resurrection planted a seed of eternity in our hearts. Jesus said “I am the resurrection and life…” b.     Resurrection of Jesus has given us a new worldview, a scope for all of life and world-view. c.      Resurrection of Jesus is a deposit, guarantee of things promised, now with a guarantee. d.     Resurrection is a signpost, showing us a direction towards God's future New Creation. e.     “Hope is what you get when you realize that a different worldview is possible, the same worldview that is demanded by the resurrection of Jesus is the shift that will enable us to transform the world.” (75) f.       “We believe in the resurrection of the body…” as we declare in the Apostles Creed.

BREAKING: N.T. Wright Defends Abortion for Limited Cases | My Critique

Text us your questions!Matthew Vines returns to discuss how the revised edition of his book addresses critiques from prominent theologians, the distinction between affirming theology and queer theology, and the possibility of affirming, orthodox Christianity.Matthew unpacks the scholarly consensus that modern sexual orientation concepts simply didn't exist in biblical times—a fact many prominent theologians like NT Wright dismiss without substantial engagement. This historical disconnect creates profound implications for how we interpret biblical passages addressing same-sex relationships.The discussion takes an interesting turn when Matthew articulates a strong critique of queer theology, distinguishing it from his own affirming theological stance. He argues that queer theory's categorical opposition to all normative structures actually harms LGBTQ+ acceptance by creating an antagonistic "us versus them" narrative rather than one of shared values and inclusion.We also explore Christian sexual ethics more broadly, with Matthew making the compelling case that monogamy and covenant faithfulness remain valuable principles with profound theological significance. He explains how Christianity's sexual ethic was actually liberating in the ancient world, especially for women and enslaved people who had previously been treated as property without sexual agency.The conversation concludes with Matthew sharing the mission of The Reformation Project—his organization dedicated to equipping Christians to advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion while maintaining orthodox Christian beliefs. By modeling how affirmation and biblical commitment can coexist, they're challenging the false narrative that accepting LGBTQ+ people necessarily leads to theological liberalism.Topics covered in this episode include:• How ancient and modern understandings of sexuality are fundamentally different, with sexual orientation being a modern concept• The two main schools of thought in sexuality studies that emerged in the 1970s: social constructionism (Foucault) and essentialism (Boswell)• NT Wright and Preston Sprinkle's claims about ancient sexuality• Matthew's response to criticisms of his interpretation of Matthew 7 regarding "good and bad fruit"• The role of Christian sexual ethics in liberating vulnerable populations by restricting sexual activity to marriage• How queer theology differs from affirming theology in its rejection of all norms as inherently oppressive=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

The Exodus Way E12 (Bonus Interview) — If we come to the New Testament without much knowledge of the Hebrew Bible, we may think that baptism is just something that John the Baptist made up and Jesus carried on for new disciples. But there are multiple levels of meaning in this practice, including ritual purification, Israel's passage through the Red Sea, entry into the promised land, and, most importantly for Jesus, a symbol of his death on our behalf. In this episode, Jon and Tim have a wide-ranging conversation with prolific author and theologian N.T. Wright about the meaning of baptism and its connections to the Exodus story.View all of our resources for The Exodus Way →CHAPTERSWelcoming N.T.
