Current Writing Projects and Provocative Content Teaser

The depth of Pauline theology extends well beyond traditional interpretations and individual word studies, reaching into the very core of the Christian lived experience. Central to this theological journey is the concept of cruciformity, how the cross becomes both the shape and the source of salvation.

Join host Scott McKnight and his guest Michael Gorman, a revered scholar in New Testament studies and contributor to the DPL2, as they discuss on the extensive bibliography of the DPL2 and explore how this concept of cruciformity fostered a newfound joy in the early Church communities and continues to influence Christian thought and practice today.

Join us as we gain insights that bridge doctrinal history and practical applications, enriching the contemporary Christian’s lived experience.

This episode highlights the following themes:

• The many benefits the DPL2 offers students, scholars, and pastors
• The structure and societal roles within the first-century Pauline church.
• The concept of cruciformity in Paul's theology.
