Christian Forgiveness in a 1st-Century Honor-Shame Context
Published 7 hours ago
Description
In this in-depth conversation, I sit down with Pastor Mike Davis to explore Jesus’s teachings on forgiveness within the context of the honor-shame world of first-century Judaism. Drawing on decades of study and pastoral experience, Pastor Mike walks through several key passages including Matthew 5, 6, and 18, Jesus’s words from the cross, and Stephen’s prayer. This is a rich contextual conversation that reframes biblical forgiveness as a countercultural path to true honor in the kingdom of God.
