Paul, Slave to Christ Jesus
The Paradidomi ChannelThis video kicks off our journey into the Book of Romans. In Romans 1:1-2, Paul tells us a lot about himself. For example, "Paul a slave of Christ Jesus." At first glance, this might seem offensive to our modern ears, but what does it mean for Paul and his first audience? Well, as we dig into Paul's letter we will discover that Paul uses plenty of metaphors to convey deep theological principles. Slave language is no exception when Paul discusses the problem of sin and humanity's bondage to it.15 views 1 comment -
What is the Gospel?
The Paradidomi ChannelWelcome to the Paradidomi Channel! In this video, we continue studying the book of Romans by surveying and discussing 1:1-7. This passage is the prescript of Paul's letter, where he introduces himself to the Roman Christians, and then (after a lot of deep theological content) he greets his audience. In addition, because the gospel is the major theme in Paul's letter, it might be wise for us to be clear about what exactly Paul means when he says he has been "set aside for the gospel of God." So, we'll answer the question, "What is the Gospel?"11 views 1 comment -
