The Central Nature of Scripture

In this season finale of Off Stage, Greg, Brittany, and RD tackle the New Perspective on Paul—a theological movement that’s reshaped how many modern Christians understand justification, salvation, and the gospel itself. From its academic roots with E.P. Sanders and N.T. Wright to its downstream influence in the Emergent Church and spiritual formation circles, the team explores where this perspective brings insight, where it muddies the waters, and why gospel clarity still matters. Whether you’ve never heard of the New Perspective or have shelves of N.T. Wright books, this episode will help you spot its influence, weigh its claims, and return to the simple, freeing truth of justification by grace through faith. Plus, they close the season the only way Off Stage can—with hot takes, Christmas chatter, and the eternal debate: is Elf actually good?Watch this episode on YoutubeFor more information on this podcast, visit fellowshipknox.org/podcasts You can also e-mail questions or topic ideas to [email protected]

In this Holy Week episode of Off Stage, Greg and Brittany dive deep into the doctrine of the atonement—what it means, why it matters, and how it shapes the Christian life. Framed by the timing of Good Friday, they explore the biblical theology and systematic implications of Jesus’ sacrificial death, unpacking concepts like penal substitution, propitiation, and the fulfillment of Old Testament covenants. Drawing from Hebrews, Romans, and the gospel narratives, they emphasize that atonement isn’t just about salvation—it’s about total transformation and access to God through Christ, our perfect priest, king, and sacrifice. Watch this episode on YoutubeFor more information on this podcast, visit fellowshipknox.org/podcasts You can also e-mail questions or topic ideas to [email protected]
