#165: Scripture and Revelation in Dialogue

About this episode

The episode discusses Paul's arguments from Jewish Scriptures regarding the Messiah and the relationship between these texts and the revelation of Christ.

In Acts 17, Paul argues from the Jewish Scriptures to make the case for his belief that the Messiah had to suffer, die, and be resurrected. What texts might he have used to make his case? And given that Paul himself became a believer in Jesus due to his experience on the Damascus road, what can we say about the way he (and other early Christians) understood the relationship between the Jewish text and the revelation of Christ? +++ Pre-order Matt’s newest book: Sightings and Secrets: UFOs, Eyewitness Testimonies, and How Christians Can Make Sense of the Unknown: https://a.co/d/0eD0cGtz Support The Bible (Unmuted) via Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheBibleUnmuted Matthew's blog: https://matthewhalsted.substack.com Don't forget to subscribe to The Bible (Unmuted)!
