In this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, host Daniel Mikkelsen interviews Craig Blomberg, Professor Emeritus of New Testament at Denver Seminary, renowned for his work in New Testament scholarship and biblical theology. Together, they explore why non-Pauline letters, like James, are often overlooked in the Protestant world. The conversation delves into the significance of biblical languages, how careful interpretation can uncover fresh theological insights, and touches on topics such as double-mindedness and the nature of wisdom in James. They also discuss how traditions have shaped the focus on Paul over other New Testament writings. The episode wraps up with reflections on discipleship and key passages from the broader New Testament.#biblicalstudies #newtestament #JamesDon't miss the next episode: Where we will discuss Revelation with Ian Paul  Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 01:54 Meet Craig Blomberg 03:43 A Journey into New Testament Studies 07:33 Greek Grammar and Romans 8:28: What We Often Miss 13:00 How Greek Shaped Luther and the Reformation 16:56 Why We Overlook Non-Pauline Letters 18:52 Wisdom from James: Trials, Wealth, and Generosity 27:26 The Double-Minded Person in James 31:14 Defining Wisdom in the Letter of James 35:10 Applying Wisdom to Everyday Life 38:45 Jesus' Genealogy and Its Link to Discipleship Music Credits: Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/aspirePlease, let us know what you thoughts on the episode.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode of Exploring the Language of Scripture, please consider becoming an Explorer!
