Michael Bird on the Apocalyptic Paul

Mike BirdRecently, my friend Michael Bird (Ridley College Melbourne) was in Houston and lectured at the Lanier Theological Library.  His topic had to do with whether the apocalyptic Paul could be understood within the framework of what some scholars call “salvation history.” Mike did a good job with the lecture.  He’s always witty and relevant.  Here is a link to the video:
