    no visible notes - no power points - no paper boards - no irritating background music - just culture and learning distilled in a mind - a great mind speaking with clarity and simplicity of difficult concepts. Heaven!

    You talk about the Pentecost around 10-minutes or so. the Pentecost story is one of my favorites in the new testament. When I first heard it I saw that it was an undoing of the Tower of Babel which was an eye-opening realization about the nature of the New Testament. Thank you for another good upload.

    Great lecture. The universality of the message is one of the great hallmarks of the faith. Remember Jesus is the second Adam according to PAUL and the last Adam. He is recreating humanity or pushing the reset button on all humanity completely undoing the damage for by the first Adam.

    @vincentsheehan3193 2 года назад

    What a gifted teacher! The only thing I slightly disagree with is the assertion of Luke ‘sugar coating’ aspects of early Christian teaching. The passion narrative must have been truly shocking & repugnant to Luke’s first readership

    • @danielgrotz6599
      @danielgrotz6599 Год назад +1

      Probably no more shocking than it is to ours. We don't see crufixions nowadays after all.

    • @nanashi7779
      @nanashi7779 Год назад

      It seems strange to claim that the description of the passion would've been shocking to a culture that had already experienced hundreds of crucifixions at the hands of Pilate and the like

    @kevinrombouts3027 3 года назад +4

    Paul died before the sacking of Jerusalem at the hands of Nero in 64 AD it was presumed. Therefore wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that Acts was written between 60 and 70 AD?

    • @ErikNilsen1337
      @ErikNilsen1337 3 года назад +2

      I agree. Moreover, the theory that Mark was composed after AD 70 rests on the assumption that he couldn't have *predicted* the destruction of the Temple, even though that's exactly how that passage is presented - Jesus' prediction of future events that have not yet happened at the time of composition.

    • @shaunkerr8721
      @shaunkerr8721 2 года назад

      Just like Nietzsche's correct predictions about contemporary society.

    • @danielgrotz6599
      @danielgrotz6599 Год назад +1

      It does not rest on that assumption. There are lots of Christians such as myself who believe Jesus predicted the destruction of the temple and still date Mark to 70 AD.

    • @danielgrotz6599
      @danielgrotz6599 Год назад

      It would but only in the absence of stronger evidence. The lack of Paul's death in Acts could suggest an early date but there are many other indicators in Luke and Acts to suggest the later date and the evidence is generally agreed to override the former.

    • @danielgrotz6599
      @danielgrotz6599 Год назад

      Keep in mind that's an argument from silence so it's generally not going to take much evidence in the opposite direction to override it
