Let’s talk about the end of the world.
No, we have no knowledge of how or when that will happen – sorry to disappoint! The end of the world is on the mind because we just opened up Paul’s Letter to the Thessalonians and – he seems to be pretty interested in the topic. Now, our hunch is that when most people hear eschatological (the study of End Times) talk they either get way too excited, or not sufficiently excited – and that chasm can be explained by how confusing, scary, and unreal it can often seem as we read it in the Scriptures.
So, on this episode, Stanford and Peter chat about it. What does Paul mean in these strange passages about the end of the world? What was he trying to tell the Thessalonians? What would he want to tell us?
Stan and Pete also discuss a few awesome passages about the Will of God, a gutpunch of a passage on sexual ethics, and the strange profundity Paul seems to give something as banal as work.
As always for this series, we hope you hear affection and honesty as we approach the Scriptures, and we hope it inspires you to do the same. Jump in with us!
