James teaches that one is justified “by works and not by faith alone” (James 2:24). Does this contract Paul who proclaims a justification by faith apart from works of the law? What exactly is the role of works in salvation in general and justification in particular?

Mark Jones joins me on What in the Word? to discuss.

The Presence of the Future: The New Testament’s Inaugurated Eschatology (with G.K. Beale)

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.”
