Power, Wealth, and Religion | Episode 13

Going to a library might lead you to believe there are millions of stories in the world, but perhaps there’s really only one story being told by human history. It’s called the myth of redemptive violence: to win in life, you must be stronger, fight harder, and move faster.

The Counter-Kingdom

We tend to think of righteousness in terms of personal, moral piety, but that’s not how the biblical authors understood it. Righteousness toward God means healed social relations and righting wrongs with people. The story of Cornelius and Peter illustrates that, for the church to embrace God’s covenant, we must participate in the breaking down of social, political, and racial walls.

Contours of the Covenant

Father Abraham had many sons, but why do we care? The biblical authors were obsessed with the story of Abraham and his family. In fact, you can’t really understand what’s happening in the New Testament if you don’t understand the story of Abraham. When we study his story, we find God’s call for Abraham (and for us today) was never regional or exclusive but always global and inclusive—for everyone.

Father Abraham and His Kids

The Bible is all about...babies? God’s original plan for humans centered on us growing, flourishing, and populating the world. But Adam and Eve sinned, and it was both a moral and governmental fall. God’s answer? He promised to send a Baby—the Baby—who would grow up to become a Man and win back the world, not as God but as God in man, to give it back to man.
