TSC_031 Nijay Gupta-Paul and the Language of Faith
<- Back to Episodes Nijay Gupta--Paul and the Language of Faith Nijay Gupta, Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary, Chicago, IL, zoomed in with David Capes recently to talk about his book, Paul and the Language of Faith (Eerdmans Publishing, 2020). This is what Michael Bird of Ridley College (Melbourne, AUS) said about the book: “Nijay Gupta presents here the best contemporary exploration of the meaning of ‘faith’ and ‘believing’ in the Christian Bible. He leaves no stone unturned as he covers topics like faith as doctrine, virtue, allegiance, trust, obedience, and fidelity, among other things. Along the way Gupta cracks open a few hoary chestnuts like the ‘faithfulness of Christ’ and faith as a social boundary marker, always with clarity and acumen. All in all, a wonderful exposition of the meaning of faith in the biblical world.” The post TSC_031 Nijay Gupta-Paul and the Language of Faith first appeared on Lanier Theological Library.

TSC_019 A 1st Century Copy of Mark? Not so fast . . .—Dr. Craig Evans
<- Back to Episodes Craig Evans - A 1st Century Copy of Mark? Not so fast . . . Dr. Craig Evans, John Bisagno Distinguished Professor of Christian Origins at Houston Baptist University, discusses reports that scholars may have discovered a fragment of the Gospel of Mark that dates from the late 1st century. Through a good deal of hi-jinx and intrigue the fragment has recently been published. It is not late 1st century as early reports suggest, but late 2nd or early 3rd century. Still it is the earliest fragment of the Gospel of Mark we have. The post TSC_019 A 1st Century Copy of Mark? Not so fast . . .—Dr. Craig Evans first appeared on Lanier Theological Library.
