Thoughts on the New Testament . . . and Other Stuff by David B Capes
Recently on Exegetically Speaking I had the opportunity to talk with Dr. Josh Moody, pastor of College Church (located right next to Wheaton College). Our conversation had to do with how he, an expert expository preacher, goes from text to sermon.

Part two of a conversation with Dr. Gene Green, professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, regarding the word hupotassō, often translated “submit” in 1 Peter and other NT books. He asks the question where and when should we “change the orders” rather than just to submit to them. Jonathan Blanchard, one of the founders of Wheaton College, was a respected abolitionist who looked at the “order” of society, challenged it, and ultimately helped to abolish slavery. Are there other orders in society that we should challenge and not just accept?

One of the tasks of exegesis is determining the text. On this edition of “Exegetically Speaking,” a podcast of Wheaton College, Dr. Seth Ehorn, Visiting Assistant Professor of New Testament, considers how the Gospel of Mark ends in modern translations and in early Greek manuscripts: Does the Second Gospel end in 16.8 or 16.20? Has the last page been lost? Has someone added some verses which weren’t in the original? If the Gospel ends in 16.8 with the women afraid and running away, what does that mean?

Dr. Nick Perrin, professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, comments on Pope Francis’ recent remarks about the last line of the Lord’s prayer (Matt 6.13). Should we say, “lead us not into temptation,” or “do not let us fall into temptation”? Pope Francis thinks the latter, but Dr. Perrin has a very different take.

Dr. Amy Peeler, associate professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, endorses the impulse toward gender inclusive language in translation. But in some cases she thinks exclusive language may better capture the argument of the text. In Hebrews 2:10 she suggests it is better to read “children” (NRSV) or “sons and daughters” (NIV) as “sons” because of its Christological implications, and subsequent empowerment of female readers.
