God’s Messiah in the Old Testament

Andy Abernethy, Wheaton College

Andrew Abernethy, PhD Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, is a former colleague of David Capes at Wheaton College.  He is an Associate Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College and Degree Coordinator for the Master of Arts in Biblical Exegesis.  He is author of many articles, but the focus of this podcast is a book he wrote along with Dr. Gregory Goswell of Christ College in Sydney, Australia.  It is entitled God’s Messiah in the Old Testament: Expectations of a Coming King (Baker Academic, 2020).  While some scholars find precious little “messianism” in the Old Testament, others find it in nearly every verse.  So, what is the truth?  Abernethy and Goswell take a book by book approach to work through those passages that look forward to a coming messianic king.

Hail, O Favored One?

Dr. Julie Newberry, Wheaton College

Dr. Julie Newberry, Assistant Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College, investigates the language of Joy and rejoicing in the Gospel of Luke.  She recently finished her PhD at Duke University and defended her dissertation. Congratulations, Julie. She stops by Exegetically Speaking to suggest the angel’s greeting (Luke 1:28) to Mary might not be just a greeting after all.  She considers the contrast between Zechariah’s encounter and Mary’s.

Poetry and Metaphor in Psalm 1

Travis Wright

Not long ago I sat down with Travis Wright, a PhD Student at Cambridge University, to discuss some of the beauty and poetry found in Psalm 1. He reads Hebrew beautifully. You get a sense not only of what it means but how it sounds.

Home Again by a Different Route: Finding Resilient Leaders in the Book of Lamentations

Dr. Margaret Diddams

My friend and former boss, Dr. Margaret Diddams, recently came to the Lanier Theological Library for a two week research break to investigate some of our great resources on the book of Lamentations. By training Dr. Diddams, Margaret, is an industrial organizations psychologist and she has noticed a number of similarities between the academic literature on resilient leaders and lament. Her thoughts on the subject are fascinating and helpful. This needs to be a book and with time, I’m sure it will be. With Covid-19 especially, church leaders and others are trying to figure out what’s next. Whether people are being fired, laid off or flaming out, these are some insights you need.

Meditating on the Law

Dr. Michael Graves

Dr. Michael Graves, Armerding Professor of Biblical Studies at Wheaton College, explores with David Capes how reading the Hebrew text of Psalm 1 leads us to a key background story in Joshua 1, and how both together shed light on faithfulness.
