Episode 93: Keesmaat & Walsh – Resisting Empire in the Book of Romans

By July 15, 2019February 25th, 2023No Comments

This week Biblical Scholar Dr. Sylvia Keesmaat and Theologian Dr. Brian Walsh talk about what Paul was up to in the book of Romans. We visit topics like salvation and politics and how maybe those words don’t mean what we thought when it comes to the New Testament.

  • “It seems to me that asking the question of atonement in Romans, is perhaps asking the wrong question.” Brian Walsh
