132: The Early Christian View of God in Philippians
Thursday Aug 06, 2020
Thursday Aug 06, 2020
Philippians is the letter of Paul that many interpreters feel exhibits high Christology. What we actually find is that Paul holds of a high human Christology, where the obedient king took upon the attitude of the Suffering Servant and was highly exalted afterward. Paul continues to portray his monotheism, human Christology, and his understanding of the relationship between God and Christ in terms that are consistent with second temple Judaism.

047: Anti-imperial Christology in Philippians (Part 3)
Thursday Dec 20, 2018
Thursday Dec 20, 2018
As we continue our study into Paul's depiction of Christ in Phil 2:5-11, we note further examples where Caesar is subverted. Rome's harmonious peace is called into question with the exaltation of Jesus and his newly acquired authority. The authoritative titles "Augustus" and "Father of the Fatherland" are also subverted when the Father's authoritative name is bestowed upon Jesus. Lastly, Jesus acts as the moral example for the people to follow, which significantly contrasts Caesar's example.

046: Anti-imperial Christology in Philippians (Part 2)
Thursday Dec 13, 2018
Thursday Dec 13, 2018
This episode sets out to explore the important christological passage of Phil 2:5-11 to see if it also subverts the claims of Rome and her emperors. Would Paul's depiction of Jesus have been heard as offensive to those loyal to Caesar and his empire? I think so, and I think Paul intended that his argument be subversive.

045: Anti-imperial Christology in Philippians (Part 1)
Thursday Dec 06, 2018
Thursday Dec 06, 2018
In Philippians 3:20-21, Paul regards Jesus as the true savior and lord, deliberately drawing his readers away from their loyalties to Caesar, to whom these titles were widely given. How else does Paul laud the risen Jesus Christ while simultaneously subverting the Roman emperor in this passage? This episode offers some answers to this important question.

040: Paul’s Adam Christology in Philippians
Thursday Nov 01, 2018
Thursday Nov 01, 2018
While Adam Christology is clearly apparent in Paul's letters to the Romans and 1 Corinthians, what can we say about its presence in Philippians? This episode explores the possibility that the Christ-hymn of Phil. 2:5-11 evokes allusions and echoes to Adam in such as way as to highlight Christ's distinctive person, work, and humanity.

013: The Christ Hymn in Philippians 2
Thursday Apr 26, 2018
Thursday Apr 26, 2018
What are we to make of the controversial passage of Phil. 2:5-11? This episode attempts to explain the nuances of the passage by highlighting Paul's allusions to Adam, Isaiah's Suffering Servant, and even to Emperor Nero. Furthermore, we show that the Philippians passage is actually an ethical argument for Christians to live in humility and obedience to God, just as Christ demonstrated during his earthly life.
