Two Texts A Citizen on Trial | Disruptive Presence 125
In which John and David explore Paul’s dramatic encounter at the temple when he declares his mission to the Gentiles. They discuss how this statement shifts the trajectory of Acts, leading Paul towards Rome. We consider citizenship, its privileges, and its role in Paul’s story. We also reflect on the broader implications of living with multiple identities—Jewish, Roman, and Christian—and how Paul models a nuanced engagement with empire, faith, and mission. Finally, we consider what it means to be citizens of heaven while living within earthly systems.
