After Agabus warns Paul of the troubles he will face in Jerusalem, believers from Caesarea escorted Paul to Jerusalem. This stage of the journey might take two days, depending on how long he stays with a Christian named Mnason. Paul’s goal is to arrive in Jerusalem by the time of Pentecost. At this point, he […] The post Who was Mnason? Acts 21:15-17 appeared first on Reading Acts.| Reading Acts
While he is staying with Philip, the prophet Agabus approaches Paul and performs a prophetic action (21:10-11). Like Philip, Agabus was mentioned earlier in the book of Acts. He prophesied a famine in Jerusalem (Acts 11:27-30), prompting the Antioch church to send Barnabas and Saul to deliver relief funds to the Christians there. Agabus took […] The post Agabus Warns Paul – Acts 21:10-11 appeared first on Reading Acts.| Reading Acts

The lectionary epistle for Trinity 17 in Year C is 2 Timothy 2.8–15. Paul continues with the theme of 'remembering', characteristically interweaving God's powerful initiative and the need for our response. The passages has connections with Jesus' teaching in the gospels and (of course) with the Book of Revelation. Sadly, James does not sing for us this week...! The gospel reading is Luke 17.11–19, Jesus' healing of the ten lepers. You can see the video discussion of that here. The post Re...| Psephizo

What is the significance of it being a public rather than private letter? What rhetorical strategy does Paul use to make his point? And how do the ideas of reconciliation and| Psephizo

By Troy Neujahr Is bivocational ministry on your horizon? Does it seem scary? Can it be good? Imagine a pastor and his church leaders sitting down together to hammer out next year’s budget. As the evening wears on, the income and expense columns show a resolute resistance to meeting one another. The light joking slowly becomes somber; smiling good humor hardens into serious faces. On the one hand, everyone at the table knew this day would come — and had known it for years — but to see t...| The Lutheran Witness

In episode 156 of Almost Heretical, titled “Paul vs. Jesus,” hosts Nate and Shelby Hanson dive into a shocking revelation: the Apostles’ Creed, a cornerstone of Christian faith, skips Jesus’ entire life, mirroring Paul’s letters that barely mention his teachings.

Ben the Amateur Exegete (henceforth AE) is an atheist who produces content on historical biblical scholarship. He recently put out a video challenging the report in Acts 16:37 and Acts 22:22-29 of Paul's Roman citizenship. To his credit, AE doesn't think the objections are conclusive and concedes that Paul certainly could have possessed Roman citizenship. However, he argues that the balance of evidence suggests that Luke "padded Paul's resume". AE draws his arguments from Calvin Roetzel's 199...| Think Christian Theism
