The last body of Jewish literature that E.P. Sanders investigates in Paul and Palestinian Judaism is the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha. Scot explores Sanders's synthesis of this literature to shed light on questions like how do works come from faith and how do rewards and punishments work within covenant nomism?

Dead Seas Scrolls (PPJ - Part 3) - KR 123
Sign up for Reading Romans Backward here >> https://www.seminary.edu/webinar-reading-romans-backward/
Is Judaism a "works righteousness" religion?
This is the driving question for E.P. Sanders's study of Judaism in the first century. Sanders continues his investigation of covenant nomism and finds the Essence community of Qumran clearly reflects that they understood being God's people by election and not because of the works that they did.

Philippians in the Story of God (Conversation with Lynn Cohick) - KR 119
Paul's letter to the Philippians has a lot to say to the present world where human feelings and emotions get hijacked by so many force. Lynn and Scot unpack how Joy is more than a mood, but a constant experience that comes from receiving one's identity from Christ.
Paul opens his heart up in some profound ways in this letter. The Kingdom takes root and joy overflows when followers of Jesus orient their life around the surpassing greatness of knowing Jesus.

Did Jesus Preach the Gospel? (Q Ideas Conference) - KR 118
Interested in getting a taste of Northern with Scot McKnight? Join us for a class at Northern - seminary.edu/taste
If all the words mean the same thing, they mean nothing. Occasionally words risk losing their meaning because they get stretched to cover too many concepts. In this talk, Scot contends that the gospel is one of those words that has stretched to become something that is not described in the New Testament. What is the gospel and is it possible that Jesus couldn’t have preached the gospel?
