Justice and the Book of Romans: Dr. Douglas Harink’s Biblical Theology--”Resurrecting Justice”

Douglas Harink shares insights from his book entitled "Resurrecting Justice: Reading Romans for the Life of the World". He sees the traditional rendering of "righteousness" in the Book of Romans as "justice". This provides a contrast to traditional perspectives that focus only on justification by faith for individuals. Harink covers personal as well as systemic sin, Adam and Christ, weak law and sovereign law, obedience to God, ultimate and cosmic justice, just war, Israel and the church, messianic patience and solidarity, messianic public service, political authorities, and more.
Dr. Douglas Harink is Emeritus Professor of Theology at The King's University in Edmonton, Alberta.

Contentment and Strength Through Christ: Philippians 4:12-13--DEVOTIONAL/INSPIRATIONAL

The Apostle Paul knew well how to live in contentment in all situations, no matter how much he suffered. He continually experienced the strength that comes through a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. Through faith, discipline, and boldly meeting life head-on we can experience this same reality.

The Resurrection and Theology with Dr. Ross Hastings: A Biblical Exploration

Ross Hastings is Professor of Theology at Regent College and holds PhDs in both theology and chemistry. In this interview we cover the historical basis for the resurrection of Christ, the resurrection's relationship to atonement (especially recapitulation and Christus Victor), regeneration, justification, and the personal history of Jesus. We look at progressive sanctification, union with Christ, theosis, and mission/vocation, all in light of the resurrection. Hastings comments on the future of Christians after death, Christ as Great High Priest, worship, and preaching in regard to the resurrection. Finally, we examine the implications of the resurrection for creation, ethics, and the second coming.

Finding Your Strength In God: 2 Samuel 22:3--DEVOTIONAL/INSPIRATIONAL

Old Testament Ethics with Iain Provan: A Theological Exploration--Seeking What Is Right

Dr. Iain Provan, Professor of Biblical Studies at Regent College guides us through his approach to the ethics of the Old Testament. We consider primary ideas starting with God's goodness and creation and move on to continuity with New Testament ethics, genre, economics, and God's concern for the marginalized. Provan discusses his schema of creational, stiff-necked, and ritual law as well as the post-flood period, the conquest, and the prophets. Provan applies OT ethics to the contemporary world with his notion of "principled pluralism". I hope you enjoy the interview!

Ethics and Eschatology: Theological and Biblical Reflections with Dr. Vincent Bacote

We dive into the world of eschatology and ethics and how they impact each other with Dr. Vincent Bacote, Professor of Theology at Wheaton College and the Director of the Center for Applied Christian Ethics. We explore key Scriptures, various historical approaches including Anabaptist, dispensationalist, Albert Schweitzer, and liberation theology as well as the kingdom of God, judgment, the resurrection, and Christian hope. Dr. Bacote also addresses worldly mixes of ethics and eschatology including capitalism and Marxism as well as economic sharing and the racial and ecclesiological implications of Revelation's proclamation of every tribe, nation and tongue worshiping in the new heavens and new earth.
