How to Study (And Understand) Our Catholic Epistles – Dr. Darian Lockett

Are you curious on how to better understand the Catholic epistles and ways the early church read them?

In Aurogra without prescription Letters for the Church, Dr. Darian R. Lockett provides us with rich insights into early church theology and practice through a deep study into the seven letters of James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, and Jude.

He provides fascinating insights into the background and context of each letter, and ways to see how these scriptural writings are thematically connected.

Each chapter outlines the author, audience, and genre of one of the epistles, traces its flow of thought, and explores shared themes with the other Catholic Epistles.

In this podcast, Sestri Levante Dr. Darian Lockett discusses his conviction to write a book focused on the Catholic epistles. He shares different scholarly interpretations, thematic connections, and how to study these letters critically and devotionally. He also gives advice for those of us who struggle with difficult scriptures and ways to deal with scholarly debates on New Testament passages.

Darian R. Lockett (PhD, St. Andrews) is professor of New Testament at Biola University. His many publications include Letters from the Pillar Apostles, Understanding Biblical Theology, and An Introduction to the Catholic Epistles.

I pray this conversation encourages us to better students of scripture.
