About this episode
This is a recording of a live discussion and Q&A with Dr. Kevin Grasso about our series on Key Terms in Pauline Theology. Kevin offers a summary and synthesis of what was covered in the series, offers more of his own analyses of Greek terms and key texts, and answers questions from the live viewers.
In this series, we interviewed expert guests on their research focusing on key terms on Pauline theology. These terms and the texts in which they appear have been the subject of centuries of debate, with thousands of pages devoted to each. The way we understand these terms has a massive impact on how we understand Paul’s letters and theology.
We covered ??????? (Christ, Messiah) with Joshua Jipp and Matthew Novenson, ?????? (faith, trust, faithfulness) with Teresa Morgan, ?????????? (righteousness, justification) with James Prothro, ????? (law, Torah) with John Collins, and ?????? (Israel) with Jason Staples. In addition to these interviews, Dr. Kevin Grasso did a series of episodes on key texts in which these terms appear, showing how a close reading of the Greek, along with the tools provided by theoretical linguistics, can bring a lot of clarity. He covered Romans 10:4, Galatians 3:22, Romans 1:17, Romans 3:24, Romans 2:14, and Romans 2:28-29.
