Amorous Angels, God's Faithfulness to Israel, and Footwashing
This weeks episode of ANTWA
Sabbatical is in full-swing, I’m getting ready for trips to New Zealand, Germany, and eatern Europe. Writing on Zenobia of Palmyra and how she stood up to the Roman Empire. I’m reading Dale Allison’s new book on Jesus which is, expectedly, a tour de force.
In this episode of Ask NT Wright Anything, Tom Wright and Mike Bird unpack deep questions about God’s enduring love for Israel, the ethical challenges of working in defense and military industries, the mysterious “sons of God” in Genesis, and the ongoing meaning of Passover and foot washing for followers of Jesus today. The conversation wrestles with ancient texts, modern dilemmas, and how to live faithfully in a complex world.
This week’s bonus video is my take on how the early church articulated the divinity of Jesus using Jewish categories, symbols, and texts.
