The Linchpin of Our Faith (RJS)

Last updated on: October 17, 2018 at 11:15 pm By RJS

On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. There are four key concepts in this section of the Apostles’ Creed: bodily resurrection, bodily ascension, present rule, and coming judgment. The resurrection of Jesus is the linchpin of our faith – an illustration used by Derek Vreeland (primal credo). “A linchpin is a small locking metal pin... Read more

Revelation As Cycle

Last updated on: October 18, 2018 at 2:14 pm By Scot McKnight

A cycle rolls and returns to where it started and then begins all over again. So Revelation 4-7, which I include below for your reading in the Common English Bible, which offers simple language to make the text seeringly clear. Remember, this Book of Revelation is not a book of context-less speculation but a Book sent to seven churches in Western Asia Minor in the 1st Century, churches with whom John had a relationship. (The floor of the very large synagogue... Read more

By Their Fruit … (RJS)

Last updated on: October 16, 2018 at 7:36 am By RJS

I am in the midst of reposting and then extending a series looking at the questions that surround both biblical womanhood and women in leadership roles. The first two posts in the series looked at the variety of things that women are described as doing in both the Old and the New Testaments (A Look at Biblical Womanhood and Women of the New Testament). These range from the “expected” roles of wife and mother to judge, prophet, builder, business women,... Read more

Rhetoric: For New Testament Readers

Last updated on: October 13, 2018 at 11:16 am By Scot McKnight

For decades, especially as a result of George Kennedy’s relentless scholarship and teaching, rhetoric has percolated among some New Testament scholars and therefore creeps into preaching and teaching in local churches. Ben Witherington has spent his life reading the NT in light of Kennedy’s theories of rhetoric, and alongside has developed some of his own theories. In the wake of Kennedy is Baylor’s Mikeal Parsons, author with Michael Martin of a new book that I recommend for anyone who wants... Read more

Steven Sandage And Domestic Violence

Last updated on: October 13, 2018 at 10:30 am By Scot McKnight

I’ll clear the air first: as Sandage knows and has said, correlation and causation are not the same, but correlation remains correlation. Correlation requires thoughtful consideration not knee-jerk condemnation. I know Scott Sandage, and he’s a reliable reporter and an exceptional scholar. He has published theological studies as well as sociological research. From Boston University Today (BU Today): In June, Attorney General Jeff Sessions decided that domestic violence is inadequate grounds for granting asylum. Sessions’ announcement followed President Trump’s defense of aide Rob... Read more

Taking Love For Granted

Last updated on: October 11, 2018 at 3:47 pm By Scot McKnight

By Mike Glenn Taking Love for Granted Every once in a while, a couple will come by and talk to me about their marriage. Things aren’t the same, they’ll tell me and they’ll wonder if they’re “falling out of love”. What seems to be the problem? Nothing, they’ll say. Everything, they’ll tell me. Give me an example. They’re fighting more, they’ll say. About what? Nothing, they’ll say. Everything, they’ll tell me. They fight about who helps the kids with homework,... Read more
