About this episode

Pastor Paul Schultz and Pastor Joseph Muench discuss the baptismal and Exodus theology in 1 Peter, emphasizing a Lutheran perspective.

Pastor Paul Schultz sits down with Pastor Joseph Muench of Trinity Lutheran Church in Nokomis, Illinois to dig into the baptismal and Exodus theology running through 1 Peter. Before working through the text itself, they lay out two foundational hermeneutical commitments: the Old Testament is the primary background for New Testament language and imagery, and the word and sacrament life of the church is the native context in which documents like 1 Peter were written and heard. With those in place, they begin to show why a Lutheran reading of 1 Peter sees baptism not as an occasional reference but as the lens through which Peter addresses his readers throughout. Part one of two. ----more---- Host: Fr. Paul Schulz Guest: Fr. Josef Muench ----more---- Become a Patron!
