123: The Meaning and Origin of Monogenes (John 1:14)

While John 1:14 has traditionally regarded Jesus as the "only-begotten" one, modern lexical experts are arguing that "unique" or "one of a kind" is a more accurate translation. This episode explores how the Prologue and the rest of the Gospel of John use this Greek adjective "monogenes" in regard to the human Jesus. In doing so, we focus on the meaning of the adjective and its origins within Jewish depictions of Lady Wisdom.

122: The Embodied Logos That Pitched His Tent (John 1:14)

In John 1:14, God's personified Logos becomes flesh and "pitched his tent" in a manner that suggests a tabernacle and temple theme. This episode explores the imagery of the Logos "pitching his tent" within Jewish wisdom traditions. We discuss how the man Jesus functions as the new temple presence within the Fourth Gospel, drawing people unto himself while teaching within the physical temple. Lastly, we explore the relevance of the temple's glory in its close link with God's wisdom.

121: The Origins of the Word Becoming Flesh (John 1:14)

John 1:14 indicates that the Word--God's personified speech--becomes flesh as the human being Jesus. This episode shows how the embodiment of God's personified attributes was depicted in previous portrayals of Lady Wisdom, specifically in Proverbs, Sirach, and Philo. The Prologue, which has been deeply influenced by Jewish wisdom speculation, must be read in light of this important evidence.

120: The Mission of the Logos in the Prologue

The Prologue of John portrays the Logos coming to the world and interacting with its people. Many refused to receive the Logos, but some believed and became children of God. This episode explores how the Logos is to be understood as coming to the world in the ministry of Jesus, who summons the world to believe.

119: John the Baptist and the Logos that Enlightens

The Prologue of the Fourth Gospel depicts the Logos in terms of life and light for human beings. These terms become symbolic of noteworthy narrative points that are picked up later in the Fourth Gospel. The Prologue also introduces John the Baptist and depicts him as one who testifies about the light of the world (Jesus) who summons humanity unto belief.

118: John 1:3 and Creating through Word and Wisdom

This episode focusses entirely on John 1:3 and its Jewish wisdom context. Prior to the writing of the Prologue of John, many Jews and Christians regarded acts in creation in terms of God making all things through his personified word/wisdom. We also explore the influences on John 1:3 from Genesis chapter one.

117: Exploring the Phrase “the Word Was God” in John 1:1

This episode seeks to inform our listeners of what some modern scholars are saying about the last phrase in John 1:1, "the Word was God." These specialists argue that "the Word" and "God" are clearly distinguished and that "God" is an adjectival predication for the personified Word.

116: The Origins of Johannine Logos That Was “With God”

In this episode, we explore how portrayals of the personified word and personified wisdom of God influenced the opening line of John's Gospel, i.e. "the Word was with God." We note several Jewish texts--all predating the Gospel of John--where poets depicted God with his word/wisdom, without suggesting that these personified attributes were conscious divine persons.

This episode explores the origins of the Logos from what is depicted in John chapter 1, the "word" that was present "in the beginning" as well as existing "with God." We look into the Hebrew counterpart of Logos within the Old Testament, surveying its range of lexical meaning. This episode gives special attention to the passages in the Old Testament where the "word" is personified as an agent of God's creation and redemption.

114: ‘Son of Man’ Christology in the Gospel of John (Part 7 of 7)

As we conclude our study on the "Son of Man" sayings in the Gospel of John, we note an insistence that Jesus is a representative figure for human beings, who are drawn unto him. Also, we observe particular stress upon the fact that Jesus died fully and completely, indicating his mortality. Moreover, we discuss the hour of the Son of Man's glorification and note how this helps frame the important relationship between the true God and his human agent, Jesus.

113: ‘Son of Man’ Christology in the Gospel of John (Part 6)

In John chapter 9, the blind man is healed and confesses Jesus as the Son of Man. In doing so, we learn that the Son of Man is a fully-fledged human being, functioning as God's agent. Those who do not regard Jesus as the true agent of God in the passage are judged as blind and still in their sins.

How can we take seriously the identity of the Son of Man as the human agent of God while also giving fair weight to the insistence that he is to ascend to where he was before? This episode provides a balanced interpretation worth considering.

110: ‘Son of Man’ Christology in the Gospel of John (Part 3)

In John chapter six, the narrative presents Jesus as the Son of Man who is the bread of life. In doing so, Jesus is portrayed as a human being in the strongest possible terms. However, the Son of Man's flesh is also depicted as coming down out of heaven, arguably as a reference to Logos Christology and Wisdom Christology.

We also note that the Son of Man is authorized to exercise divine prerogatives, specifically, to give eternal life and to execute judgment.

108: Introducing ‘Son of Man’ Christology in the Gospel of John

The Gospel of John has many 'Son of Man' sayings that are not located in the previous three Gospels. In this episode, we explore the Son of Man who acts as the ladder between the open heavens and those on earth. We also explore how this authorized human being functions exclusive revealer of the things of heaven while remaining an actual human being.

106: A Further Look at Matthew’s ‘Son of Man’ Christology

As we continue our study through the Gospel of Matthew to better understand the Christological significance of Jesus' favorite self-reference "the Son of Man," we encounter passages where the Son of Man possesses authority over the angels, the right to rule as a king, and the role of judge. We also find that Jesus calls other human beings his "brothers"-- further indicating that the Son of Man is an authentic member of the human race.

105: An Introduction to Matthew’s ‘Son of Man’ Christology

The Gospel of Matthew has additional sayings about the Son of Man that are absent from the Gospel of Mark. In this episode, we begin to explore these sayings in Matthew, where the Son of Man is a rejected figure, a figure who "comes," one who speaks in terms of Lady Wisdom, and who is greater than Jonah and Solomon. However, Matthew appears to frame this Christology in terms of Jesus as a high ranking human Messiah.

104: The Trial of the ‘Son of Man’ in Mark

In the final 'Son of Man' story within the Gospel of Mark, Jesus stands before the High Priest in a trial regarding Jesus' temple actions and claims to being the Messiah. The messianic secret is finally revealed to Israel's leadership, but Jesus' claim to being the human Son of Man possessing authority from God results in being sentenced to death.

103: The Predicted Death of Mark’s ‘Son of Man’

In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus says that the demise of the Son of Man is predicted in Scripture. However, there are no explicit passages within the Hebrew Bible that talk about the suffering and death of a 'son of man' figure. This episode explores the possibility that Daniel chapter 7 was the passage Jesus had in mind and draws from this passage the implications for the Christology of the title 'Son of Man' in Mark.

102: Mark’s ‘Son of Man’ Revealed in the Olivet Discourse

In Mark chapter 13, Jesus gives the Olivet Discourse that tells of a coming tribulation that is to face the people of God. What most readers miss is that Mark portrays the events surrounding the betrayal, suffering, and death of the Son of Man with much of the same language that was used in Mark 13. This episode explores the relevance of the Son of Man representing the suffering people of God and how this strengthens the argument that the Son of Man is a human being.

101: Mark’s ‘Son of Man’ Bearing the Father’s Glory

The Gospel of Mark portrays the Son of Man returning with God's glory to act as judge. What are we to make of the Son of Man who performs God's role of judge and bears God's glory? Do these descriptions make Jesus divine, or are they indicators that God has empowered Jesus as an exceptional human agent of the true God? This episode explores these points within the depiction of the Son of Man in Mark 8:38.

096: Origins of The Phrase ‘Son of Man’

Jesus used the phrase 'Son of Man' of himself more frequently than any other title. What was it about this phrase that was so important to Jesus? This episode seeks to explore the origins of the phrase by looking at its appearances within the Hebrew Bible. We conclude that 'son of man' casually indicates a mortal human being.

094: Is Jesus a Heavenly Angel in John’s Apocalypse?

Although the Book of Revelation is ignored and regarded as confusing by many Christians, some have insisted that it portrays the risen Jesus as one of the heavenly angels. In fact, a few published books by PhD-holding scholars have contributed to this argument. This episode examines their arguments to see if the Book of Revelation, like the rest of the New Testament, depicts Jesus as the human Messiah or as a heavenly angel.

092: Did Paul Think that the Risen Jesus was a Heavenly Angel? (Part 2 of 2)

This episode will look at some objections to suggesting that Paul regarded the risen Jesus as a human being. Two passages within the letters of Paul are often pointed to in order to argue that Paul actually did think of the risen Jesus as a nonhuman heavenly angel, even an archangel. This episode examines Gal. 4:14 and 1 Thes. 4:16 to determine what they teach regarding the risen Jesus' identity.

091: Did Paul Think that the Risen Jesus was a Heavenly Angel? (Part 1 of 2)

According to the Apostle Paul, Jesus was highly exalted after his resurrection. Was this exaltation a transformation into one of the heavenly angels, perhaps even into an archangel? This episode will examine the theology of Paul to discern if he understood the risen Jesus as a member of the heavenly hosts of angels or whether he is still a human being.

089: Do the Gospels of Mark and John Portray Jesus as a Heavenly Angel?

In our final study of the NT Gospels, we turn to Mark and John to see if they portray Jesus as an angel from heaven. While both of these Gospels offer verses involving both Jesus and the heavenly angels, never once is there a suggestion that these two categories are to be confused with one another. Jesus is regarded as the human Messiah, both prior to and after his resurrection.

In this episode, we examine the Gospel of Luke and its portrayal of Jesus Christ to see if he is regarded as one of the heavenly angels. Although Luke mentions Jesus and angels together in quite a few passages, the two are never confused. There is no indication that Luke wanted his readers to understand Jesus as a heavenly angel, whether prior to his birth, in his earthly ministry, or after the resurrection. Jesus remains the human Messiah, according to the Gospel of Luke.

085: Angels as Agents of the One True God (Part 2)

This episode continues that study of how angels function as fully authorized representatives of the one true God. In doing so, they often speak the words of God, are addressed as 'God', and bear the divine name. However, these messengers were never to be confused with the true God, since they acted as representative agents.

083: Paul’s Theology on the Relationship Between Jesus and the Spirit (Part 4 of 4)

082: Paul’s Theology on the Relationship Between Jesus and the Spirit (Part 3)

This episode seeks to better understand Paul's theology of Christ and the Spirit as two overlapping experiences for believers. These interactions between the risen Jesus and the Holy Spirit are exhibited in the behavioral change of the people of God, their transformation into the image of God, and the organization of the baptized body of Christ. In short, Paul seems to regard the Spirit as the manner in which Christian communities experience the risen Jesus.

081: Paul’s Theology on the Relationship Between Jesus and the Spirit (Part 2)

This episode explores how Paul links the Holy Spirit with Jesus in light of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. What can be learned about Paul’s theology of both Jesus and the Spirit by zeroing in on texts dealing with the resurrection? Can anything be gained by looking at the Spirit’s involvement in the future resurrection of the dead and its parallels to Jesus’ resurrection? It is concluded that the Spirit, for Paul, is God's extended power, rather than a conscious person in the godhead.

080: Paul’s Theology on the Relationship Between Jesus and the Spirit (Part 1)

How does the Apostle Paul, who is often difficult to understand, describe the relationship between the risen Jesus and the Holy Spirit? In what way, if at all, is Jesus involved in the sending of the Spirit to the people of God? We can actually learn a lot about how Paul understands the nature of the Holy Spirit by looking closely at his letters. The Apostle seems to depict the activity of the Spirit as overlapping the ministry of the risen Lord Jesus Christ without equating the two (or making the Spirit into a 'person' alongside the Father and the Son).

078: Who or What is the Holy Spirit in the Ministry of Jesus?

What sort of image do we get of God's personal Holy Spirit when it interacts with Jesus Christ in the Gospels? Do the four Gospel accounts regard the Spirit as the third person of the Trinity? Or is the Holy Spirit an empowerment in Jesus' preaching, working of miracles, and enacting of the prophet role?
