Scriptural Allusions & NT Christology (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two people were particularly important when formulating my MA Thesis at the University of Georgia: Richard Hays and Richard Buckham.Hays’ book, Echoes of Scripture in the Letters of Paul, transformed the way in which I read not only Paul’s usage of the OT, but the NT in general. I will provide a brief overview of his work in relation to my project on the Christology of Paul, Mark, and John.Secondly, Richard Bauckham’s research on Christology helped lay the foundation for how I developed my thoug
The One God & The Lord Jesus Christ (Part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have been writing more recently on theoretical concepts such as “re-written Gospel” and the importance of tradition for comprehending NT documents. The reason for this has been to publish my MA thesis here on SubStack—a pdf is available on my academia.edu profile.

Law contends that the Septuagint has fallen by the wayside, and now a later textual tradition—the Masoretic Text (MT)—has become the focus of study for Old Testament scholarship. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o
Is Mary the Mother of God? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have contemplated writing an extensive series on Mariology for my SubStack because this is a commonly misunderstood topic within Christianity.There will always be the absurd claim that the Orthodox and Catholics worship Mary, make idols of her, etc., but I wanted to address some foundational texts in order to show how the Church has spoken about the most important human in Salvation History.Hopefully these exegetical explorations will clear up some of these unfounded assertions slandering the
