In this episode of Logos Live, I sat down with Nancy Guthrie to talk about what theologians call the “intermediate state.” We ask, “Is going to heaven when you die” the full picture? Join us for a conversation about life after death, the resurrection, and the new creation.
Check out the full episode and accompanying article.
What does Paul mean when he declares that “all Israel will be saved”? Is he referring to the church (aka, “spiritual Israel”), the restoration of Israel as a nation-state, or something else? Richard Lucas joins me on What in the Word? to discuss Romans 11:26.
What does it mean to take God’s name in vain? Is it about speaking God’s name (e.g., irreverently or in hasty oath-taking) or something more? Carmen Imes joins me on What in the Word? to discuss Exodus 20:7.
What exactly does Jesus predict in his infamous Olivet Discourse—the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, the events of his second coming, or some overlap of both? Mark Strauss joins me on What in the Word? to discuss Mark 12, Matthew 24, and Luke 21.
The Old Testament tells a unifying story of God working to restore his creation and establish his kingdom. This would finally happen permanently and irreversible at the end of history, the “last days.” But the New Testament presents this time as already having dawned in the arrival of Christ. We are living in those “last days,” as Peter said (Acts 2). Premier New Testament scholar, G.K. Beale, visits the Church Theology podcast to talk about the New Testament’s “inaugurated eschatology,” or as George Eldon Ladd put it, “the presence of the future.”
