Historiology vs Christology | Theologian Peter Enns | Evolving Interpretation and Adaptation

From the moment of the historical Jesus's tragic death the wrestling began on what meaning could be interpreted for those that still were part of the movement and how that pursuit of meaning evolved over time as the Romans crushed all in their path and destroyed the Jewish world of Jesus. What theological memories and meaning could survive that onslaught of that tragedy and time. We wrestle with the historical context and the meta meaning for the present. What does the text say about the world of the gospel writer writing the text as well as the subject (Jesus) of the text. Who do you say that I am... then. Who do say that I am... to you now.
The Jesus of History vs The Christ of Faith

Peter Enns (Ph.D., Harvard University) is Abram S. Clemens professor of biblical studies at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania.

He has written numerous books, including The Bible Tells Me So, The Sin of Certainty, and How the Bible Actually Works.

Our mission is simple:
Bring the best in biblical scholarship to everyday people.
Curiosity
We acknowledge that others know more than us and that we won’t ever know everything. So, we ask the hard questions and give others permission to do the same.

Tripp is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Theology & Science at the University of Edinburgh. He received his PhD in Philosophy, Religion, and Theology at Claremont Graduate University. For over 13 years Tripp has been doing the Homebrewed Christianity podcast (think on-demand internet radio) where he interviews different scholars about their work so you can get nerdy in traffic, on the treadmill or doing the dishes. Last year it had over 3.5 million downloads. It also inspired a book series with Fortress Press called the Homebrewed Christianity Guides to… topics like God, Jesus, Spirit, Church History etc. He has a brand new book out, Divine Self-Investment: An Open and Relational Constructive Christology.
