Elements of Early Christianity that Just Might Surprise You!

- I am pleased to have Rev. Dr. Shelly Matthews on Story Time! this week. She is Professor of New Testament at Brite Divinity School. She holds both a Doctorate in Theology and a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School. Her work has addressed several topics of interest. One is the violence in the Newer Testament and early Christianity, using the martyrdom of Stephen as a springboard into understanding this element of Newer Testament writings. Her published dissertation engages this realm as well, _First Converts: Rich Pagan Women and the Rhetoric of Mission in Early Judaism and Christianity_. She also co-chaired a program unit in the professional biblical society on Violence in the NT and Early Christianity, one session's papers from which culminated in a volume, _Violence in the New Testament_.
She has most recently co-authored a two-volume feminist commentary on Luke's gospel, and her career-spanning interest is finally coming together in a book: a feminist guide to the resurrection.
She is the series editor for the Society of Biblical Literature Press series Early Christianity and Its Literature; and was the co-founder and inaugural co-chair, with Tat-Siong Benny Liew, of the Society of Biblical Literature program unit on Racism, Pedagogy and Biblical Studies.
Shelly was one of the first NT scholars I got to connect with as a graduate student and she has consistently been a kind voice of encouragement to me over the years. She is a gentle soul with a fierce mind and a deep passion for justice.

You always have good music, and content. 😻😻😻😻😻
@@nightsazrael Thank you!
Thank you. I feel privileged to follow these conversations. Perhaps we are witnessing/participating (even by witnessing) a revolution that's more about relational nets, webs, trees - the patterns and structures - than objects, transactions, and marketplaces?
TY! Concise Overview of the Critique of Jesus of Nazareth - by DCS
very good and interesting conversation. thanks ladies
Tried to send a super chat but that entails remembering my Apple ID password 🙈 this is problematic lol
@@harrispinkham 😂 I am surprised that was required. (?)
resetting your password is easy, so easy in many apps that it’s not worth saving it - just reset every time. As long as you have access to your email or phone.
@@JenniferBirdPhD I was watching on my phone so it uses Apple Pay for super chats 🙈
@@scienceexplains302 it’s a schlep to reset it tho I COULD technically look it up but I was not connected to WiFi on my computer at that time so the extra effort for a question that wasn’t really super important wasn’t worth it
I swear the orthodox paschal hymn might be what you're looking for. But maybe it is only about redemption. A lot of christians thought we all just went to hades before Christs sacrifice.
Starts at 1:35
I've never seen a shred of salvation or decency in the bible, but it's generous of you to look!
@@aosidh Hi! Thank you for commenting. But what is your angle here?
@@JenniferBirdPhD I think this was a response to the aside about how analysis of the text is usually not flattering
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.

The investigation is scholarly but the reconstruction of some kind interpretation that tries to make sense of any of this seems like a desperate attempt to find an element of good that helps us to do 'what'?
🤔
@@erpthompsonqueen9130 There are many people who still need the Church as their community and collection of people who help them get along in their daily lives.
Pronouns beside the name tell me whom to ignore. 🤡🤡
47:56 This whole resurrection thing and justice, I struggle with. “So the last will be first!” What kind of God thinks that way! Well, an example is your life’s been horrible.; You were raped and impregnated by your father. Be a good girl and don’t get an abortion. You’ll earn your reward for suffering when you die. You’ll receive eternal life and enter God’s Kingdom! It’s truly pathetic when you think about it. 🤪I’m still a believer, but struggle to comprehend how stupid it really sounds.
That God has a preference in his infinite love for those most broken by this often cruel and callous world, that He would restore them to their fullness and put them first in the better, more beautiful world that we hope and pray awaits us all, makes sublimely perfect sense to me.
The people whose lives we dismiss (with your approval it appears) as insignificant are absolutely precious.
That sounds funny to you?
Believer? In what exactly.
I also think it is important to keep in mind the ancient context for the resurrection ideas. A whole bunch of males, contending in a male dominated space, functioning in a framework that is domination oriented. They were not necessarily taking all individual experiences into account. This kind of "solution" happens on a more collective framework level.

The greater the thirst, the sweeter the water.
The poorest, those who have suffered most, those most failed, wronged, left behind by the world are Christ's priority, as they are in any decent society.
If a society is justly judged by the least, how shoud The Kingdom be judged?
Even in the scenario to which you are responding, a woman who made such sacrifices for the sake of child would be admired in any society sane enough to understand if she could not.
How great would her redemption be?
How did this beauty and simplicity in Christ's words become material for such clownish Marxist criticism?
When Christ is your judge you are a Christian. When you are Christ's, please have the dignity and honesty to leave the claim to Christian faith alone.
52:52 This just came to me about superheroes, Jesus is the superhero of the church! I wonder if that concept came from religion? I’ll have to ask Daniel McClellan.😂
There is a long tradition of the "hero" in mythic literature, long predating Jesus, yes. _The Golden Bough_ might be of interest to you!
God - Blessed and Most High - says:
* Woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say,
“This is from God,” in order to exchange it for a small price So woe to them
for what their hands have written, and woe to them for what they earn *.
(Quran)
That's the quran done for then.
So, you're asserting that a different book that was indisputably written by human hands is from God?

All the prophets and messengers, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, peace be upon
them all, spoke Aramaic, not Hebrew. Aramaic is originally Arabic, because Adam, the
first of the prophets, spoke Arabic. And the last of the prophets from the descendants
of Ishmael, peace be upon them, spoke Arabic. And all the revelations that came down
to all the prophets were in Arabic, then they translated them into the language of their people. God sent a messenger to every nation, and their number is approximately:
the messengers are three hundred and a few, and the prophets are one hundred
thousand and twenty-four thousand.

without lies, islam dies
That’s why there’s so many interpretations of the biblical texts in the various languages. Some of those languages don’t have matching words and definitions. It can totally change the meaning.
Aramaic and Arabic are two different languages.
Arabic script has served Islamic cultures from Segou to Bengal, millions of people whose language is not Arabic. What do you suggest should be done with these documents?
Hebrew is older than Aramaic, hence it is the language of the Torah and Tanakh (which also contains Aramaic portions) where words from Kushites and Persians, Babylonians and Egyptians appear.
The Gospels and epistles are written in Koine Greek, the Church fathers wrote in Attic, Medieval Western scholarship in Latin.
If liturgical and academic lingua francas render documents inauthentic, say goodbye to the far, far, greater part of histirical documentation.

The Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, said :
* ( I swear ) By the One in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad,
no one from this nation, whether Jew or Christian, hears of me,
then dies without believing in that with which I was sent, he will
be one of the inmates of the Hell fire *
