  • A wonderful resource for teachers and students

    I have found this podcast super helpful while studying for PhD comprehensive exams, as well as preparing myself for class now as a professor. Even if I’m not teaching these specific works, having summaries of them is eminently helpful

    This podcast is a great service to those of us who long for a deeper understanding of the New Testament.

    These folk not only help us appreciate some of the pivotal contributions in the field, but they model how to engage the text—and the literature—in a thoughtful, irenic, faithful spirit.

    Lovely!

  • Skolarship

    Hated this podcast until they discussed a real skolar, Jordan B. Peterson. This is the kind of stuff on the Orange Catholic Bible I was looking for. Karl Jung FTW.

Ian N Mills, "Marcion as Textual Critic?"

Ian N Mills, "Marcion as Textual Critic?"
Q: How do we know what Marcion wrote?
Most information about Marcion comes from authors who criticized him as a heretic, such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Epiphanius, rather than from his own writings.
Ian N Mills, "Marcion as Textual Critic?"

Marcion was an early Christian teacher in the second century who sought to disconnect Christianity from the Hebrew Bible, believing Jesus came to save humanity from the creator god of the Old Testament.
