Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Peter Arzt-Grabner "Letters and Letter Writing" (Brill U Schoningh, 2023)
Q: After someone wrote a letter, how are these letters then transported across the Roman world once someone finished writing it?
Letters were usually transported by friends, family, or trusted slaves, as the official Roman postal system was primarily for military and administrative use.
Peter Arzt-Grabner "Letters and Letter Writing" (Brill U Schoningh, 2023)
Q: Can I ask maybe just a little bit more, what led you to begin studying specifically ancient letters, and now then to write this book?
I started to study the letters of Paul quite early and began with papyrus letters during my graduate studies, leading to my fascination with the everyday life reflected in these letters.
Matthew V. Novenson, "Paul and Judaism at the End of History" (Cambridge UP, 2024)
Q: What did Paul mean when he says that Christ is the end of the law?
Paul's statement can mean both that Christ serves as the purpose of the law and that the law as known in his time is coming to an end due to the eschatological fulfillment with Christ.
Matthew V. Novenson, "Paul and Judaism at the End of History" (Cambridge UP, 2024)
Q: Could you say more about some of the methodological problems with studies on Paul and the law and how we might proceed in a better way?
Paul is often viewed in conflicting ways towards the law, appearing to criticize it while also asserting its importance, suggesting a complex understanding that contemporary scholars struggle with.
Michael Niebauer, "Four Mountains: Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion" (Lexham Press, 2025)
Q: So the book itself, Michael, is called Four Mountains Encountering God in the Bible from Eden to Zion. And you've already hinted in our conversation that you think Eden is a mountain. So tell us about Eden.
Eden is described as a mountain where humanity can encounter God, and it symbolizes the ultimate intimacy with God, which was lost when Adam and Eve disobeyed.
