An Introduction on the New Perspective of Paul | Dr. Samuel Tedder
International Christian Embassy JerusalemShow Notes
On this week’s ICEJ Webinar, we bring you more informative and inspiring highlights from our recent Jerusalem Summit emergency gathering on antisemitism, Replacement theology, and Church history back to the Council of Nicaea.
Today, Dr. Samuel Tedder challenges the general perception that, based on the teachings of the Apostle Paul, Judaism is seen as a religion of legalism, and Christianity a religion of grace. In recent decades, many Christian theologians have changed their views on Paul, seeing him foremost as a Jewish theologian. Tedder explains this shift and notes the inseparable link between Judaism and Christianity, based around participation in God's covenant family. Does this match your understanding of the two faiths? Or are they totally separate? And did Paul teach that the Church replaced Israel in God’s redemptive plan?
“An Introduction on the New Perspective of Paul.” That’s our topic this week on the ICEJ Webinar, featuring Dr. Samuel Tedder, a Finnish biblical scholar, pastor and missionary who holds a Doctoral degree in New Testament Studies from Durham University. Please enjoy this encouraging, informative, and timely message.
