Freedway Thinker #17 - Mystery of Mysteries Demystified

The validity of appeals to mystery can be, well, mystifying. Are they are reasonable? When are they not rationally acceptable, and is there ever a time that one can be warranted in an appeal to mystery?

I discuss that in this short Freedway Thinker episode.

Paul and the Slave/Slavery Motif

Many struggle with understanding exactly what Paul means when he talks about our being slaves and freedmen.

In this episode we explore the multivocal use of the motif in the Pauline corpus.

Is Jeremiah 18 the OT Text Behind Paul’s Use of the Potter/Clay Motif in Romans 9:19-24?

A common Provisionist reading of Paul's use of the Potter/Clay Motif in Romans 9 relies on their assumption that the conceptual background to which Paul alludes to is that of Jeremiah 18. In this episode I explore far more plausible backgrounds for Paul's use of the PCM.
