- Gerald R. McDermott (PhD, University of Iowa) is Anglican Chair of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School in Birmingham, Alabama. Before joining Beeson, he was the Jordan-Trexler Professor of Religion at Roanoke College. He is also associate pastor at Christ the King Anglican Church and Distinguished Senior Fellow in the History of Christianity at Baylor University’s Institute for Studies of Religion.
In this episode of the podcast we discuss two of Dr. McDermott’s books: God’s Rivals: Why Has God Allowed Different Religions? and Israel Matters: Why Christians Must Think Differently about the People and the Land.
God’s Rivals raises the question of why there are other religions-why would God permit that? The content of the book takes note of the Deuteronomy 32 worldview discussed so often on the Naked Bible Podcast - that, for biblical writers, the gods were real and allotted to the nations (and vice versa) in judgment at the Babel event (Deut 4:19-20; 17:1-3; 29:23-26; 32:8-9 [per the Dead Sea Scrolls “sons of God” reading]; 32:17). Dr. McDermott surveys early church thinkers reflections on this situation and what it meant in God’s plan of salvation.
Israel Matters discusses the diversity of opinion (positive and negative) in the believing Church toward the people, land, and state of Israel.

Dr Heiser is dearly missed. He was such a blessing to me in my walk. Such a valuable talk here
Wao this is 100% in 2024
Dr Mike was diplomatic but firm. He was a brilliant but humble man.
Acts 7:38 is very relevant to this conversation for me. Great discussion!
Eyes-openning
So awesome
Great stuff. It's quite an exercise to revisit scripture with the Deuteronomy 32 worldview, not just flavoring the intake, but completely causing me to rethink interpretation.
Great talk, thanks!
Great discussion...thank you!
God bless you all!
I am interested. Thank you for this discussion.
Another great one!
I’m definitely gonna be mulling , researching this for a while. This is good stuff .
The God of the Old Testament is the same God of the New Testament...his actions are exactly correct and just and compassionate when you understand what was going on at that time vis the Duetoronomy
World view
Hello from Uganda 😂
I believe the term Dr. McDermott was looking for is, "Plundering the Egyptians..."
When I consider the centurion whose servant was healed and the centurion at the cross, I have always believed that the Romans\ non Jewish people knew more about God and therefore understood the diety of Jesus more easily than the Jews did.
How do you sell that something logia? kriskatheologia?
The problem with the terms Jew Israel, is that they were essentially redefined to basically mean believers in Christ. That’s why you have verses like those who say they are Jews but lie, & Israel will be saved. Yet then you have the 144,000 which is Jews (bloodline Hebrews) who believed from birth as opposed to all the others who are martyred for rejecting the mark. The church has a different role, some being sealed before the opening of the abyss, others being martyred for rejecting the mark. Some verses are literal geographical terms & some are spiritual terms that transcends genealogy. But you have to view each mention by the context in which it’s being spoken. People want a simple answer for a complex subject, & there isn’t one answer because it’s all case by case. It isn’t meant to be easy. It’s meant to make people study & focus & pray for guidance.
On the topic of super sessionism, I'm certainly no theological expert, but at least on the surface, just reading through scripture, it seems fairly straightforward Israel has always been comprised of both Jews and Gentiles. The relative slice of the pie has shifted at various stages in history. You could say the emphasis on Gentiles increased in the New Testament. But at the end of the day, we Gentiles get grafted in to Israel. We don't replace Israel.
How do non-dispensationalists understand the last chapter of Zechariah? Pretty hard to get around that it both has not yet happened and undoubtably involves Israel. Dispensationalists generally seem right.
noam chomsky, ironically, turned me against israel.
I know why that is but have you since parted from Noam Chomsky ?
@@patriothippie5881 yes. he's a degenerate liar.
The work if the first Adam still seems to be far more over reaching and extensive than that of the second Adam.
Just for this moment, but with what Christians believe about the end of the age- that won’t always be the case
Uhmm,uhumm,yep,yep..
HORRIBLE he turned you out the moment you said non Christians can have the lord in their heart.
Yet another "CHRISTIAN " with the ""CHOSEN"" view...
HORRIBLE GUEST...
??so if I am not given the lord Jesus CHRIST at BIRTH anything I do that is not in McDermott's view total and all inclusive of his fellowships view of Christ worthy then on my route to living the best as I can to be a positive force among Men is no better then any little sin and any sin is sin indeed thus FIRE AND BRIMSTONE is what I merit.
Mmm Hmm
