The Royal Law Podcast: Recent Episodes
Michael
I am a graduate student in Religion, with a concentration in Biblical Studies & Theology, as I learn, I want others to learn with me.
I talk about what it means to be free from sin, and what it meant to have Jesus die for our sins. This is only an introductory discussion, and there's quite a bit more to the topic of sin, law, and sacrifice, but this is where I'm starting. God bless!
In this episode, I discuss the Parable of the Talents, as found in Matthew 25:14-30. I give some descriptions, general insight, and also incorporate the commentary of John Wesley. The goal and direction is to emphasize the call to Christian responsibility expressed in this parable.
I discuss Phyllis Trible's book, Texts of Terror: Literary-Feminist Readings of Biblical Narratives, and Carol Meyer's address to the President of the Society of Biblical Literature, "Was Ancient Israel a Patriarchal Society?"
Both the book and the article were fascinating and challenging reads, so I wanted to share them with all of you.
This podcast gives some thought on the validity of the idea that love is the opposite of hate. This question was raised by a friend of mine in a Bible study group, and the idea seems to be more complex than he was given credit for.
I discuss the fundamentals of the theology of John Wesley, including Wesleyan Scriptural interpretation, Wesleyan quadrilateral, views on tradition, and methods of reading the Bible from the founder of the Methodist Church.
