Quite the Week Ahead

This is going to be a good week. Four significant topics. At times a tad controversial. Controversial enough that you will need to subscribe to read and comment. So, here we go:

What does it look like to be a Spirit-filled person? We turn to America’s premier “Pneumatologist” for a sketch of what can be done to enter into the way of God’s Spirit. When a scholar of this stature writes accessible prose for all of us, we all need to pause to read.

Can we get back to the “historical” Jesus, the real Jesus, the Jesus before the Gospels? Social memory theory proposes a way around the scholarly debates about what whether or not Jesus did or said this or that. And it proposes a fresh way to think “with” and “about” Jesus. Join us.

Context matters and Sandra Glahn cares. On Wednesday we turn to what we know about Artemis and the Amazonian women and how they connect to the problems in Ephesus addressed by Paul in none other than 1 Timothy 2. Tune in for some insightful and challenging conclusions.

Thursday we turn, not to America’s original sin, but to contemporary America’s idolatry with Andrew Whitehead.

Some controversy? For sure.
