Empire, Interpretation, and the Bible pt. 3 of 3

In Part 3 of 3 of this series, Justin discusses the Roman Imperial Eschatology in the 1st Century, and how it impacted the way 1st Century readers of Ephesians would have understood the Gospel of Jesus. Stephen follows up on the question from Part 1, about whether current events should impact our reading of scripture, and the guys talk about strengths and weaknesses of contextual readings of scripture. Justin and Stephen also talk about highlights, lowlights, and insights for the week, including language learning, cross-cultural experiences, questions about gun violence, and more.
