83. Unpacking Baptism: Is It a Covenant or a Quick Commitment?

from Rethinking Scripture Hosted by Dr. Gregory Hall, Nijay K. Gupta, A.J. Swoboda

Episode 83 - Shotgun Weddings, Rings and New Covenant Baptism Aug 23, 2023 - Host: Dr. Gregory Hall Weddings are a big deal. I’m always amazed at the many details that go into such events. It usually takes months to properly plan and execute a modern wedding ceremony. But one doesn’t actually need that much time. There’s really only a few things needed for two people to get married. In today’s episode, we’ll take a closer look at the Biblical wedding metaphor and ask if, in our modern day rendition, we’re maybe unintentionally creating shotgun wedding scenarios with Jesus… where forget to bring the engagement ring.
