The Bible and the Story

Last updated on: October 9, 2017 at 6:10 am By J. R. Daniel Kirk

Today I was trying to do a quick dive into Luke 24 to grab a couple of details about reading the Bible. It’s a great place for it. The tldr is basically: don’t read the Bible for what it says unless you think it says Jesus. But have you ever strolled through the Emmaus story? Have you ever slowed down, not to hear what Jesus says to the “foolish, hard-hearted” companions, but to listen to what they say to him?... Read more

A Man Attested by God: Response to Hurtado

Last updated on: March 14, 2017 at 9:50 am By J. R. Daniel Kirk

Larry Hurtado has posted to his blog the review he read of my book, A Man Attested by God, at the Society of Biblical Literature meeting in November. A number of people have asked for my response. What follows is not my response from the session, but a newly written response for my blog. Appreciation I want to begin by expressing my heartfelt appreciation to Larry for his interaction with my work over the past few years. I only began having personal interaction with... Read more

Technophobia

Last updated on: February 23, 2017 at 7:23 am By J. R. Daniel Kirk

If we weren’t so busy fussing about shifts in geopolitical climates and trying to stay on top of every move that the current U.S. administration is making we might be having completely different conversations about how the world is changing right under our noses. Way back in the day there was this completely fantastic, absurd show about a guy who went around solving crimes with a self-driving car that could talk to him. (KITT, you were always a loyal companion.)... Read more

Healing Spiritual Wounds

Last updated on: February 10, 2017 at 12:17 pm By J. R. Daniel Kirk

A man pours out his life pursuing a calling that would clearly put on display the grace and life of Jesus. He is thwarted at every turn. His prayers for help go unanswered. God is silent. A woman is abused by her husband. The church exhorts her to bear up under her cross as she submits to her husband’s authority. Sermons about sin and guilt lodge deep in the heart of a young high schooler. They become the youngster’s identity,... Read more

Today, the Human Jesus Matters

Last updated on: February 2, 2017 at 7:47 am By J. R. Daniel Kirk

I wrote A Man Attested by God because I had an academic answer to an academic question. Given early Judaism, and how it depicts it God and its human heroes, how do we best understand the identity of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels? But once we’ve got the Jesus story straight there results a rich overflow of ramifications for what God is up to in the world and what it looks like for us to be part of it. As I have tried...
