Influential Professors, Writing Journey, and Scholarly Resources

The phrase "Son of God" in biblical literature carries profound theological significance while challenging readers to understand its rich historical and spiritual implications.

Join host Scot McKnight as he engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Amy Peeler, the Kenneth T. Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies and Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College. Together, Peeler and McKnight discuss the importance of the author’s voice in scholarly writing, offering encouragement to junior scholars as they develop their own voice.  

Peeler also takes us deeper into Paul’s worldview, emphasizing the eternal bond between the Son and the Father and how God’s fatherhood is tied to resurrection. Her journey from an emerging scholar to a confident voice in New Testament studies provides rich context for their discussion.

Tune in and deepen your understanding of the eternal relationship between the Son of Man and God the Father.
