058: What Does "Son of God" Mean in Luke? (part 1 of 3)
7 maart 2019 · 19 min
Being the largest Gospel in the New Testament, Luke has a lot to say about Jesus as the Son of God. Does Luke agree with Mark that Jesus is the messianic human Son of God, rejected and killed for God's purposes, or does Luke make the title "Son of God" out to refer to a preexistent divine being who became human? This episode will look at Jesus' birth and childhood to see how "Son of God" is defined by Luke. Lees meer

057: What Does "Son of God" Mean in Mark? (Part 2 of 2)
28 februari 2019 · 20 min
What sort of information can be gained by examining Jesus' dialogues with the unclean spirits--those who know that he is the Son of God? Does Jesus calling himself the "beloved son" in the Parable of the Wicked Tenants make him a preexistent being? What should be made of Jesus' admission of ignorance concerning the day and hour of the second coming? These questions will be answered as we continue to explore what the title "Son of God" means in the Gospel of Mark. Lees meer

056: What Does "Son of God" Mean in Mark? (Part 1 of 2)
21 februari 2019 · 22 min
Does the title "Son of God" refer to a preexistent being who became human in Jesus? Does "Son of God" refer to the second person of the Godhead? The earliest New Testament gospel, Mark, does not seem to think so. Rather, Mark teaches that Jesus is the royal Son of God who suffers and dies as God's authorized and highly empowered human Messiah. Lees meer

055: The Israelite King and High Human Christology (Part 4 of 4)
14 februari 2019 · 27 min
In this episode, we note how the human Israelite kings from the line of David are called "mighty god", share in God's shepherding prerogatives, are invested with God's own name, and can be described as one who is "like God." If all of these things can be said of fully human kings, then this has considerable implications for how we interpret New Testament christology where the very same empowerments are bestowed upon Jesus, the human Messiah.

054: The Israelite King and High Human Christology (Part 3 of 4)
7 februari 2019 · 21 min
Our exploration of how the Hebrew Bible depicts God investing his authority, attributes, and prerogatives into the human Israelite king continues with a survey of Psalm 89 and 1 Chronicles 29. In these passages, the human king possesses unique empowerment from God, receives worship, and even rules on the throne of Yahweh. We then turn to the New Testament to note that the human Jesus is portrayed with the very same empowerment from the only true God without infringing upon monotheism, culminating in a high human Christology.

053: The Israelite King and High Human Christology (Part 2 of 4)
31 januari 2019 · 27 min
This episode examines Psalm 72 in its portrayal of the human Israelite king--a king empowered with God's own prerogatives and judgments. This human king is worshiped, acts as a savior, and even possesses a name that preexisted the daytime sun. Each of these points finds parallels in the NT Gospels in their portrayal of King Jesus, a human being empowered by the one true God in a manner consistent with what might be called a "high human Christology."

052: The Israelite King and High Human Christology (Part 1 of 4)
24 januari 2019 · 24 min
In what ways can a study of the various human kings of Israel within the Old Testament help understand the four Gospels' portrayal of Jesus, the human king of God's kingdom? In this episode, we will begin by examining Psalms 2 and 45, noting how these human Israelite kings were highly invested and empowered by God in ways that parallel the high human christology of the New Testament.

051: Elisha and High Human Christology
17 januari 2019 · 23 min
The lesser-known prophet Elisha is depicted in 2 Kings as an extraordinarily empowered human being, possessing control over nature, the ability to extend his human presence, and even summoning the heavenly host to his disposal. If Elisha was a divinely empowered human being, what does it mean when the four New Testament Gospels depict Jesus Christ with the same miracles and authority? Answer: Jesus is also bearing a high human status. Lees meer

050: Elijah and High Human Christology
10 januari 2019 · 24 min
Like the human beings Adam and Moses, the prophet Elijah shared in God's unique attributes, glory, and prerogatives. If Elijah was a divinely empowered human being who controlled nature, gave life, and shared in God's glory, then we should not be surprised when the four New Testament Gospels portray Jesus Christ as a human being sharing the same empowerment.

049: Moses and High Human Christology
3 januari 2019 · 21 min
In what ways does Moses function as God's agent by bearing God's unique attributes and prerogatives? Moses is called "God," Moses shares in God's actions, and Moses even bears God's glory upon his unveiled face. The New Testament Gospels also depict the human Jesus as empowered with God's name, sharing in God's actions, and bearing a glorified face, resulting in a high human christology. Lees meer

048: Adam and High Human Christology
27 december 2018 · 25 min
What is the best way of understanding the four Gospels as they depict the human Jesus sharing in divine attributes belonging to God alone? This episode examines three portrayals of the primordial human being Adam, who is regularly depicted as also sharing God's unique traits and attributes. Understanding how Jews regarded Adam's relationship with God helps us better interpret how the Gospels portray the human Jesus in exalted terms. Lees meer

047: Anti-imperial Christology in Philippians (Part 3)
20 december 2018 · 20 min
As we continue our study into Paul's depiction of Christ in Phil 2:5-11, we note further examples where Caesar is subverted. Rome's harmonious peace is called into question with the exaltation of Jesus and his newly acquired authority. The authoritative titles "Augustus" and "Father of the Fatherland" are also subverted when the Father's authoritative name is bestowed upon Jesus. Lastly, Jesus acts as the moral example for the people to follow, which significantly contrasts Caesar's example. Lees meer

046: Anti-imperial Christology in Philippians (Part 2)
13 december 2018 · 16 min
This episode sets out to explore the important christological passage of Phil 2:5-11 to see if it also subverts the claims of Rome and her emperors. Would Paul's depiction of Jesus have been heard as offensive to those loyal to Caesar and his empire? I think so, and I think Paul intended that his argument be subversive. Lees meer

045: Anti-imperial Christology in Philippians (Part 1)
6 december 2018 · 16 min
In Philippians 3:20-21, Paul regards Jesus as the true savior and lord, deliberately drawing his readers away from their loyalties to Caesar, to whom these titles were widely given. How else does Paul laud the risen Jesus Christ while simultaneously subverting the Roman emperor in this passage? This episode offers some answers to this important question. Lees meer

044: Anti-imperial Christology in 1 Thessalonians (Part 2 of 2)
29 november 2018 · 22 min
This episode observes how 1 Thessalonians underscores Jesus' lordship in opposition to the lordship of Caesar. The Christian gospel opposed the gospel of Caesar, and Paul demanded his converts turn away from participation in the imperial cult in favor of monotheism and messianism Lees meer

043: Anti-imperial Christology in 1 Thessalonians (Part 1)
22 november 2018 · 23 min

042: Anti-imperial Christology in Romans
15 november 2018 · 16 min
How were the claims about the person and work of Jesus Christ understood in the Roman Empire where Caesar was widely worshipped as the "son of God," "Lord," and the bringer of peace to the kingdom? Could Jesus be the exalted Lord and Caesar be the Lord at the same time? This episode seeks to examine how Paul described Jesus to his Roman audience, asking if Paul openly subverted the political claims of the Roman imperial cult. Lees meer

041: Adam Christology in Hebrews
8 november 2018 · 14 min
Having examined the Adam Christology in Paul's letters, we can now explore how this theology functioned in the argument of Hebrews. For the unknown author of Hebrews, Jesus the Messiah was an authentic member of the human race, perfected by the sufferings of death, exalted above all things, and acts as the current high priest.

040: Paul’s Adam Christology in Philippians
1 november 2018 · 20 min
While Adam Christology is clearly apparent in Paul's letters to the Romans and 1 Corinthians, what can we say about its presence in Philippians? This episode explores the possibility that the Christ-hymn of Phil. 2:5-11 evokes allusions and echoes to Adam in such as way as to highlight Christ's distinctive person, work, and humanity.

039: Paul’s Adam Christology in 1 Corinthians
25 oktober 2018 · 23 min
1 Corinthians sheds much light on how Paul understood Jesus as the Second Adam. Not only does Paul define Jesus as an authentic human being who represents the new humanity, but Paul also regards the Jesus and Adam pair as having salvific and eschatological significance. Lees meer

038: Paul’s Adam Christology in Romans

036: Agency and God’s Agents in the New Testament
4 oktober 2018 · 23 min
Since it is clear that God often invested his name, authority, attributes, and rule into human beings and angels within the Old Testament, does the same phenomenon appear in the New Testament? This episode explores how God indeed continues to invest and empower human agents--especially Jesus Christ--with these traits, without losing his oneness or threatening monotheism. Lees meer

033: Jesus, the Prophet Like Moses
13 september 2018 · 22 min
One of the most unfamiliar titles and vocations attributed to Jesus Christ within the New Testament is that he is "the Prophet", or "the Prophet like Moses". What is the significance of this title for understanding who Jesus is and his origins? The key lies in Deut. 18:15-19. This episode seems to explore the importance of this oft-neglected designation for Jesus. Lees meer

Despite the 25,000 grammatical references to God being a single person within Scripture, some readers are more persuaded by a handful of verses where God speaks in the first person plural. One of these passages is the famous Genesis 1:26. This episode explores these rare "us" texts and concludes that they most likely refer to God speaking with his angelic court (and are thereby not a threat to God's unitary monotheism). In regard to Gen. 1:26, I currently am persuaded that this passage exhibits the plural of majesty, a grammatically intensive plural. Lees meer

031: The Ascending and Descending Son of Man in John’s Gospel
30 augustus 2018 · 22 min
What does the Gospel of John mean when it twice argues that the Son of Man "ascended" and "descended" from heaven? Does this mean that the Son of Man preexisted in heaven, or is there something else intended? This episode seeks to unravel and answer these complex questions. Lees meer

029: Does Paul Call Jesus ’God’ in Romans 9:5?
16 augustus 2018 · 15 min
Romans 9:5 is grammatically ambiguous in the Greek. Is the passage calling Christ according to the flesh "over all God" or is God the Father described as the one who is "over all" in an independent doxology? This episode looks at several considerations in order to solve this grammatical ambiguity, concluding at the end that Paul does not call Christ "God" in Rom. 9:5. Lees meer

028: Jewish Preexistence, Both In and Out of the Bible
9 augustus 2018 · 18 min
The New Testament, among many of its seemingly complicated christologies, exhibits influence from Jewish ideas of preexistence--the theology regarding certain important persons, places, and things that preexisted within God's plans and purposes. This episode explores the ways in which the New Testament texts were impacted by Jewish understandings of notional preexistence. Lees meer

027: Differences between God and Jesus Christ
2 augustus 2018 · 13 min
Although it is a common belief that God the Father and the Son of God are coequal, there appear to be explicit differences between these two figures. This episode sets out seven of these differences from Scripture in order to encourage further conversation on this issue. It is concluded that Jesus' authentic humanity is the primary reason why he is not coequal with God the Father. Lees meer

026: Wisdom Christology Throughout the Gospel of John
26 juli 2018 · 26 min
Having already observed that the opening Prologue of the Gospel of John is a poem of Wisdom Christology, we turn in this episode to see how the rest of the book depicts Jesus as the incarnation of personified wisdom. In fact, there are over a dozen instances where Jesus within the Gospel of John is described in terms echoing Lady Wisdom. John's Gospel appears to be the best example in the New Testament of Wisdom Christology, and this episode details why that is in fact the case. Lees meer

025: Wisdom Christology in the Prologue of John’s Gospel
19 juli 2018 · 23 min
John's Gospel begins with an eighteen-verse Prologue where Jesus is depicted as the incarnation/embodiment of God's creative and powerful word. However, it is demonstrated in this episode that the echoes of Lady Wisdom, rather than the personified word, would have been more clearly evident by the earliest readers of the Gospel of John. This episode notes the evidence for Wisdom Christology in John 1:1-18. Lees meer

024: Wisdom Christology in the Book of Hebrews
12 juli 2018 · 16 min
As we continue our journey through the New Testament, we arrive at the Book of Hebrews. Within the first three verses of this sermon, there appear to be four statements about Christ that have their origins in descriptions of Lady Wisdom, specifically from the book Wisdom of Solomon. For the author of Hebrews, the risen and exalted Son of God is the fullest embodiment of God's Wisdom so that things formerly said about this Wisdom figure can now be attributed to Jesus. Lees meer

023: Wisdom Christology in the Gospel of Matthew
5 juli 2018 · 10 min
Within our ongoing study of Wisdom Christology within the New Testament, we move to examine the Gospel of Matthew. Within this ancient biography of the human Jesus, we observe five passages where Jesus is portrayed in terms of personified Lady Wisdom. In particular, the author took the roles, characteristics, and functions of Wisdom and reapplied them to Jesus. For the Gospel of Matthew, just like 1 Corinthians and Colossians before it, Jesus Christ is the fullest embodiment of God's personified Wisdom, making him the locus of God's wise teaching and interaction with his creation.

022: Wisdom Christology in Colossians
28 juni 2018 · 26 min
In our continued study of Wisdom Christology throughout the New Testament, we arrive at the Epistle to the Colossians. Within this letter, the famous hymn about Christ in Col. 1:15-20 lavishly praises the accomplishments of Jesus in light of things formerly said about Lady Wisdom (without implying that Jesus consciously preexisted his birth). Furthermore, Colossians repeatedly depicts Christlike behavior as wise teaching and wisdom from God. Lees meer

021: Wisdom Christology in 1 Corinthians
21 juni 2018 · 20 min
Having already examined Proverbs, Sirach, and Philo depicting God's Wisdom as a personified female figure embodied into human beings, we now turn to the New Testament. In this episode, we look at Paul's first letter to the Corinthians where Jesus is also depicted as the human embodiment of Lady Wisdom, specifically in light of his death, resurrection, and exaltation.

020: The Origins of Wisdom Christology in Sirach and Philo
14 juni 2018 · 25 min
The theology exhibited in Proverbs wherein Lady Wisdom can be embodied into human beings was influential with other Jewish writers before the New Testament was written. This episode aims to lay that foundation by looking at the Book of Sirach and the writings of Philo. Both Sirach and Philo continue the argument from Proverbs by depicting God's Wisdom, personified as a female figure, as becoming incarnate in the human figures Simon the High Priest and Sarah, Abraham's wife. This indicates that the language of the Word becoming flesh in John 1:14 is not saying something new, but rather continuing a thoroughly Jewish way of portraying the incarnation of God's personified attributes.

019: The Origins of Wisdom Christology in the Book of Proverbs
7 juni 2018 · 24 min
Modern scholars have observed that many New Testament authors depict Jesus in light of Lady Wisdom (i.e., God's wise interaction with and instruction to his creation). However, most casual readers of the Bible seem to be unaware of what this 'Wisdom Christology' actually is. This episode seeks to examine the origins of Wisdom Christology by studying the Book of Proverbs, where astute readers will note that Lady Wisdom is embodied/incarnate into human beings in chapter thirty-one.

018: John 1 and the Genesis Creation
31 mei 2018 · 23 min
Despite the dominant scholarly consensus, there is a vocal minority on social media insisting that John 1:1 is not pointing back to the Genesis creation, but instead is referring to the beginning of Jesus' evangelistic ministry of preaching the Logos as gospel. This episode seeks to create a conversation with this minority perspective by noting what appears to be the fairly obvious literary and theological connections between John chapter one and Genesis chapter one.

What are we to make of the controversial passage of Phil. 2:5-11? This episode attempts to explain the nuances of the passage by highlighting Paul's allusions to Adam, Isaiah's Suffering Servant, and even to Emperor Nero. Furthermore, we show that the Philippians passage is actually an ethical argument for Christians to live in humility and obedience to God, just as Christ demonstrated during his earthly life.

012: The Bible’s Use of "God" Language for Human Beings
19 april 2018 · 26 min
How are we to responsibly interpret the fact that the Bible both calls certain exceptional human beings "God" and insists that there is only one true God? The answer lies in the fact that the true God can invest his authority into certain human beings as his representatives, such as a prophet, a judge, and even a royal king. This connection appears to be the most prudent way to understand Jesus being called "God," despite being the human Messiah. Lees meer

12 april 2018 · 18 min
Why does it seem that the most exalted praises are given to Jesus after his resurrection? Is the risen Jesus equal in status and rank with God the Father? How should we interpret the fact that God has titles and Jesus is often addressed with those very same titles?
