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

February 3, 2023February 13, 2023Kirk E. Miller

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.”

On the Incarnation by Athanasius (Book Recommendation)

November 15, 2021December 10, 2023Kirk E. Miller

*In the video, I misspoke and said, “I use that term lightly,” instead of, “I don’t use that term lightly.”

This “must read” Christian classic is perfect reading for advent season. Writing in the 4th century, Athanasius, one of the greatest thinkers of the early church, argues why the Son of God became human (i.e., the incarnation) — namely to rescue us from our corruption and raise us to restoration with the risen Christ.
