James Tabor | Paul's Greatest Idea and Why the Church Rejected It! @JamesTaborVideos | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 58 minutes ago.
In this lecture I set forth what I am convinced was the absolute core of Paul’s “Gospel” message in his understanding of Salvation—but what does he mean by Salvation—from What, through What, and most important, for What? Is it merely justification, that is, rescuing one from sins through grace and forgiveness? Tabor argues that is only the first stage, but that Paul’s greatest idea has to do with God actually “Saving” the entire Cosmos—birthing it into its perfected spiritual destiny. He is creating a new “genus” of spirit beings in the universe—that is human beings made of dust who are transformed into spiritual bodies—Jesus being the first of many—with their “revealing” ushering in the entire process of cosmic salvation—essentially the new “birth” of the universe.
I presented a shorter version with Q & A of this topic at the Bart Ehrman second annual virtual conference: New Investigations of the New Testament, Sept 20-21, 2024. Nine other scholars who deal with Paul, including Bart also presented, including Paula Fredriksen, Robyn Faith Walsh, and Joel Marcus. I HIGHLY recommend the entire conference. You can still have the entire program recorded, so if you missed the live event no worries. You will own the materials for life. Here is the link:
