Paul’s Theology of Resurrection (with Richard Gaffin)

February 28, 2023February 28, 2023Kirk E. Miller

How did Paul think about resurrection, and what role did it play in his overall theological understanding? Kirk sits down for a conversation with retired professor, Dr. Richard Gaffin, about Paul’s theology of resurrection. We explore questions like, what is the connection between Christ’s resurrection and ours? What is the relationship between Christ’s resurrection and the ministry of the Spirit in our lives? What does Paul mean when he says that Jesus was “raised for our justification” (Rom 4:25)? And how does Christ’s resurrection empower us for our mission as a church?

What is Biblical Theology? (Definition)

February 13, 2023Kirk E. Miller

Biblical Theology – A discipline of Biblical studies concerned with doing theology according to and stemming from the contours and categories presented within the Bible itself (i.e., attending to scriptures diachronically rather than synchronically, tracing its themes, and considering the unique contributions, perspectives, and voices of particular Biblical authors and corpora).

There then seem to be three major forms of Biblical theology that stem from these general concerns (as defined above):

Systems of redemptive-history — how the Bible fits together (“whole-bible” Biblical theology).
Tracing themes across scripture, e.g., a Biblical theology of temple or land.
Studying the particular theology of a given author, book, or set of books, e.g., a Pauline theology, a theology of Romans, an Old Testament Theology, etc.
