116 - PBC - 1 John 1:1-2:2 -

PBC = People's Bible Commentary Series In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow work through the first section of John's first letter. John returns to his use of meta-concepts like "the beginning," "light and darkness," "word and life." He does so here to complement his Gospel, but also to combat the influence of the Gnostics that have infiltrated the early Christian church, especially in Asia Minor at the time. They claimed all physical and material things were evil and immaterial in the grand scheme of things. John pushes back and makes clear the connection between body and soul, the material world and the spiritual life. Join us! Follow this podcast. Leave a comment.
