The Gospel of John & Empire w/ Warren Carter




Tripp Fuller show

Summary: Warren Carter is a Professor of New Testament at Brite Divinity School.  He is a mega-Bible scholar that pays close attention to the historical situation of first century Judaism and the themes of Empire explored in the New Testament.  In this episode, first released in 2008, I discuss his then recent work on the Gospel of John and Empire.  You can check out all of his books here. At the end of the interview I mention a very accessible book he wrote that intros the conversation of Empire and the New Testament.  If you are looking for a place to start then get The Roman Empire and the New Testament: An Essential Guide.   On the Homebrewed Barrel Aged podcasts we pull out some of the best interviews from the first 5 years of the podcast.  These gems get an audio facelift and then released from your enjoyment.
