At Home in the Word | Gospel {S6 E8}
This week, Erin Shaw joins Jillian on the podcast to dive into exploring the gospel literary genre and how to get started studying the books that fall into this category. They discuss how the gospels highlight the redemption portion of the Bible’s metanarrative arc and the good news they are infused with. They also look at how these books are theological biographies of Jesus, which describe teachings and events from His life that reveal how He fulfilled the law for all as the Messiah to all nations.
Erin Shaw wants to live in a world where women are learning truth from Scripture instead of looking for some kind of truth in themselves. When she's not teaching women's ministry classes at Cedarville University, you can find her helping with the women's ministry at her home church, Centerville Christian Fellowship. Her favorite Scripture is Psalm 84:11.
