Beyond Old & New Perspectives On Paul - Dr. Matthew J. Thomas at Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology

We're grateful for the opportunity to learn from Dr. Matthew J. Thomas about his new book "Paul's 'Works of the Law' in the Perspective of Second Century Reception" published by IVP Academic Press.

In this episode, Dr. Thomas talks with us about writing his latest book, which digs into what the early church understood by Paul when he referred to works of the law. He also shares his spiritual journey into faith, his academic studies on scripture and the early church, ways that theologians have divided over this pivotal issue of justification by faith vs. faithfulness, how reformers like Calvin and Luther diverged from early church fathers, and why second-century writers can give us the clearest view of how these perplexing Biblical passages were meant to be understood

Matthew J. Thomas earned his PhD at Oxford University and serves as assistant professor of biblical studies at the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology in Berkeley, California and an instructor in theology at Regent College. His undergraduate work was done at Pepperdine University.
