JESUS
jesusandthesyrophoenicianwomanpart1
Who doesn’t love a good Bible study? I certainly do, so for the next few episodes, we’re going to explore a New Testament passage with both historical criticism and theological reflection. Our story for today is Jesus’ conversation with the Syrophoenician woman. This story has always interested me, probably because my father used to preach a very good sermon on it when I was a boy. When I was in graduate school years later, I listened to a different sermon about it at a local church. That sermon inspired me to write a term paper on that story, or “pericope,” as the fancy biblical scholars like to call stories in the Gospels. Now, I’m using this show to talk about the results.

The Hymn of Christ is a mysterious song that appears in the apocryphal Acts of John (a 2nd or 3rd century early Christian text about the apostle John’s adventures after Jesus’ earthly life). In it, John recalls his memories of Jesus’ final days, including the night before his betrayal. The Acts of John seems to be showing the reader the words of the hymn that Christ sang with the disciples during the Last Supper. During the hymn, Jesus reveals deeply theological mysteries about the divine. There are also astrological lines in the hymn. What does these lines mean? This video will answer that question.

Cerinthus was a mysterious early teacher who seems to have considered himself to be some sort of Christian. Because nothing survives from his own pen or the pens of any of his potential followers, it is difficult to know what he did and said for certain. The goal here is to show five things that we know about this obscure individual.

JESUS
jesusandthesyrophoenicianwomanpart2
In our last discussion, we explored the Gospel of Mark’s story of Jesus and the Syrophoenician woman. We talked about how Mark used the pericope to show that Gentiles, as well as Jews, could become followers of Jesus and participate in the kingdom of God. Today, we’re going to look at Matthew’s version of the story. We’ll analyze it historically in the same way that we analyzed Mark. I hope that you’re ready to take a dive into the fascinating field of redaction criticism as we proceed with this episode.
