The Heart of Paul's Theology

The podcast discusses a recent scholarly work focused on the theme of love in Paul's theology, specifically the author’s new book, 'The Affections of Christ Jesus.' The author highlights how Paul's transformation—from a persecutor of Christians to a figure expressing deep love for the churches—reflects a complex emotional journey. This change signals a central aspect of Christianity that emphasizes love as foundational, rather than merely a doctrinal framework. Through the lens of spiritual growth, the author argues that understanding Paul's affections can inspire modern believers to reconnect with the essence of the Gospel.
