Why didn't Jesus write anything down himself? How many languages did Jesus speak? Jesus was a master storyteller, what can we learn from how Jesus taught and connected with different audiences? In this fascinating interview, Jonathan Morrow interviews Cambridge scholar Dr. Peter Williams on the profound creativity and wisdom of Jesus including how the story of the prodigal son illuminates Jesus's genius.In The Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J. Williams examines the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to show the genius, creativity, and wisdom of Jesus's teachings. He used simple but powerful stories to confront the Pharisees and scribes of the day, drawing on his knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures to teach his audience through complex layers and themes. Williams challenges those who question whether Jesus really was the source of the parables recorded in the Gospels, pointing readers to the truth of who Jesus is and why that matters for them today. About Peter WilliamsPeter J. Williams (PhD, University of Cambridge) is the principal of Tyndale House, Cambridge, the chair of the International Greek New Testament Project, and a member of the ESV Translation Oversight Committee. He is the author of Can We Trust the Gospels? and Early Syriac Translation Technique and the Textual Criticism of the Greek Gospels.Get a copy of the book

On this episode, Shane talks with Peter J. Williams about his book, The Surprising Genius of Jesus, which primarily focuses on the parables of Luke 15. Shane discussed some of these parables on episode 43 earlier this year, but the insights provided by Williams merit a brand new investigation. In short, the more we notice Jesus' subtle allusions to the Old Testament, the more we'll understand his teaching and begin to appreciate the depth of his genius. Toward the end of the conversation, the two also discuss questions related to the date of John's Gospel in light of recent trends among New Testament scholars who are currently reassessing the late date hypothesis.SHOW NOTESBooksThe Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J.

In this episode, Peter Williams, Principal of Tyndale House, explains how names can help us to assess the historical reliability of the Gospels. By looking at name records we can see what the most popular names were outside of the Gospels at the same time and place. Peter then compares these with the names we see in the Gospels to see whether they line up. He and Tony also discuss Jesus calling himself ‘The Son of Man' and what we should make of that.Edited by Tyndale House Music – Acoustic Happy Background used with a standard license from Adobe Stock.Support the show

I had the wonderful privilege today of getting to speak with, author and biblical scholar Christopher Ash. Ash has most recently released through Crossway a four volume commentary called The Psalms: A Christ Centred Commentary, which was the topic of our conversation today. We talked about how to find Christ in the Psalms, how to read the Psalms of vengeance, how important the Psalms are to the church, and many more things to do with the beauty and intricacy of the Psalms I hope you enjoy, are blessed, are challenged, and are taken deeper into knowing Jesus through the Psalms! I also hope you'll pick up Christopher's commentary, even if you just start with volume one. You will not look at and read the Psalms the same again.

After working in telecommunications and as a teacher of math, Christopher studied theology at Oxford, where he was awarded the Denyer and Johnson prize.

About the Guest(s): DJ McLean is an elder at Cambridge Presbyterian Church in Cambridge, England. He has a PhD in 17th-century reformed theology, focusing on Scottish theology. In addition to his role as an elder, he serves as a trustee for the Banner of Truth and Tyndale House, edits the theological journal "Foundations" for Affinity, and has a deep interest in fly fishing. McLean's work has greatly influenced theological studies around the law, gospel, assurance, and the free offer of the gospel, particularly through his engagement with the marrow controversy. Episode Summary: In this enlightening episode of Renewal Cast, hosts Coalt and Jay delve into the historic marrow controversy with DJ McLean, a seasoned theologian and elder from Cambridge Presbyterian Church. McLean brings a wealth of knowledge from his studies in 17th-century reformed theology, providing listeners with a nuanced understanding of pivotal theological debates that have shaped Christian doctrines, especially those surrounding the law, gospel, and assurance of faith. McLean's insightful discussion begins by tracing the origins of the marrow controversy back to its roots in 17th-century England and its resurgence in 18th-century Scotland. He unpacks how the debates from Edward Fisher's "The Marrow of Modern Divinity" challenged the prevailing legalistic views of repentance and faith, advocating for the free offer of the gospel and the essential role of assurance in Christian life. The conversation also covers key theological concepts including federal theology, the order of salvation, and the difference between legal and evangelical obedience, emphasizing how these doctrines provide profound pastoral benefits and fostering a life of joy and freedom in Christ. Key Takeaways:Understanding the Marrow Controversy: The controversy focused on how one begins and continues the Christian life, stressing that salvation comes through Christ alone without preconditions.Free Offer of the Gospel: Christ is freely offered to all sinners, aligning with reformed theology's compatibility with particular redemption.Order of Salvation: Faith must precede repentance for true evangelical conversion, highlighting that repentance flows from a heart redeemed by Christ.Evangelical Obedience: True obedience to God's commandments stems from the redemption in Christ rather than legalistic observance.Pastoral Applications: The doctrines discussed enrich pastoral work by providing a framework for a joyful and free Christian life, rooted in the assurance of faith.Notable Quotes:"We don't bring anything to earn the right to trust in Christ…you just are called to come to Christ as you are." – DJ McLean“Faith must precede repentance, as evangelical repentance can only flow from a heart that's been redeemed.” – DJ McLean"The free offer of the gospel means that Christ is held out as the savior of sinners and everyone is invited to come to him without money and without price." – DJ McLean“We live the Christian life from joy, from faith, from assurance, from that freeness of access that we have to God as our father.” – DJ McLean"Evangelical obedience flows from the redemption that is ours in Christ." – DJ McLeanResources:Cambridge Presbyterian Church: WebsiteBanner of Truth: WebsiteTyndale House: WebsiteFoundations Journal by Affinity: WebsiteThe Whole Christ by Sinclair Ferguson: LinkThe Marrow of Modern Divinity by Edward Fisher: LinkListen to the full episode for an in-depth exploration of how these historical theological debates remain deeply relevant to modern Christian life and pastoral ministry.

But Ember has changed -- and so has he. Meanwhile, a new adversary sees an opportunity to rise. As Dempsey and Vice President Jarvis soon discover, the world stage is about to get deadlier than ever … To survive the notorious prison IK-2 and assassinate Russian President Vladimir Petrov, John Dempsey had to become rosomakha, the wolverine. Now, back home in America, he's trying to put the pieces of his life at Ember back together. But which man returned from Russia -- Dempsey, or the wolverine? From the way his teammates look at him, it's obvious they're not sure, and neither is he. Meanwhile, Vice President Kelso Jarvis has barely had time to mourn the death of his mentor before a devastating attack reveals a new threat. Because of Dempsey's mission in Russia, the rules of the game have changed -- only now it's not clear who the players are. As Dempsey leads Ember on a mission to protect and avenge a shocking attack on America, Jarvis's oath to his nation is tested in ways he never imagined. Together, they must determine who is behind this rising threat and stop the mastermind before it's too late. And just as Dempsey begins to feel like himself again, an old ally resurfaces -- someone he thought he'd left for dead long ago …About the author Brian is a US Navy veteran, nuclear engineer, and former submarine officer.
