Tewahido Bible Study

Justification, Maccabees, and Comparative Politics

This is an episode inspired by Prof. Matthew J. Thomas' recent appearance on The Way podcast by Fr. Dustin Lyon. We rehash some of their discussion on justification, or being declared righteous by God, that he has been researching for years and is the subject of his book Paul's 'Works of the Law' in the Perspective of Second Century Reception

but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not (3 John 8 ASV)

Look to yourselves, that you may not lose what you[a] have worked for, but may win a full reward. (2 John 1:8 RSV)

Little children, keep yourselves from idols (1 John 5:21 NRSV)

In February 2020, prior to the pandemic, our normal english liturgy was graced by a new brother in Christ who is half Guatemalteco and half Ethiopian. So that the good news could be maximally shared, I spent a few minutes in my broken Spanish feeding his kinfolk. There’s nothing like hearing the good news in your own tongue. See the acts of the apostles, when paul begins speaking in the hebrew (aramaic?) tongue.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? (1 John 4 KJV)

 A Festschrift for Fr. Paul Nadim Tarazi
Nurse and Editor Andrea Bakas joins the Tewahido Bible Study to talk about twenty years of seriously seeking scripture.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. (1 John 3:15 KJV)

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world
