ULTIMO EPISODIO 🔗

The book of Nahum is one of the most neglected texts in the Bible. The Revised Common Lectionary never reads it, the Roman Catholic lectionary uses it once on a weekday, and many commentators have dismissed it as a dangerous book with a violent, vengeful God and perhaps a false prophet. Fr. Dr. Jac…

EPISODI PRECEDENTI

How did Assyria and Babylon shape the seventh-century prophets? Most readers picture Judah under Assyria as a broken vassal waiting for the end. Dr. Nathan Lovell, senior lecturer in Old Testament and Hebrew at George Whitefield College in Cape Town, South Africa, tells a more complicated story. Im…
What happens when Paul’s defense before King Agrippa in Acts 26 is read alongside Socrates’ speech in Plato’s Apology? New Testament scholar Jihye Yu examines the Greco-Roman rhetorical world behind Luke-Acts, arguing that Paul’s speech is forensic in form but reaches beyond legal defense toward pe…
1 John has been read for decades as a window into one crisis: a Johannine community splitting apart over secession, docetism, and rival claims to truth. Dr. Ahreum Kim's work on the letter's Greco-Roman background argues that reading misses the letter's real target. The "conquering the world" and v…
1 John says God is love, but the letter spends most of its energy on who counts as a neighbor and what love actually requires of you. Dr. Jamal-Dominique Hopkins, a Dead Sea Scrolls specialist trained and author of the forthcoming commentary on 1-3 John in the Word and Spirit Commentary series, arg…
Why did the Johannine community divide, and how did the authors of 1–3 John seek to restore unity after a painful schism? Dr. Rikard Roitto explores the Johannine Epistles through the lenses of social identity, household churches, confession, forgiveness, and moral repair. Challenging traditional m…
1 John uses three different English words—faith, love, and belief—for ideas that trace back to a single Greek root: πίστις. Dr. Christopher Seglenieks argues that overlap isn't a translation problem to smooth over, it's the letter's argument. Across the entire Johannine corpus the noun form of that…
For nearly a hundred and fifty years, English Bibles have rendered the opening of 2 John as an address to the “elect lady,” a phrase most interpreters have taken as a poetic stand-in for a church rather than an actual person. Brigham Young University Papyrologist Lincoln Blumell argues that reading…
Professor Janette H. Ok brings First John out of the realm of familiar church phrases and back into the pressure of a community trying to hold together after rupture. Her reading treats the Johannine Epistles not as abstract doctrine or devotional language, but as pastoral formation for churches ma…
Dr. Warren Carter rethinks the Johannine Epistles as formation documents rather than polemical tracts. This episode moves beyond the older “Johannine community crisis” model associated with Raymond Brown and asks what 1 John, 2 John, and 3 John do for believing audiences. Carter explains why mirror…
