Matthew Novenson: Messiah, Lord, Logos, & Other Titles

In this lively discussion, Matthew Novenson, a Senior Lecturer in New Testament at the University of Edinburgh, dives into the rich complexities of early Christian thought. He examines the diverse interpretations of Jesus as the 'Messiah' and the significance of extra-canonical texts in understanding biblical narratives. With insights into Pauline studies and Jewish messianism, the conversation teases apart how cultural contexts shape theological meanings. Plus, there's a dash of humor with whiskey preferences to lighten the scholarly feast!
