Easter Through a Divine Council Lens - Episode 173

What happens when you read Easter through the Divine Council worldview? In this special episode, Carey reflects on how biblical theology and the Divine Council worldview reshaped her understanding of the gospel, the cross, and the resurrection. Rather than reducing Easter to a narrow legal framework, this episode explores a richer biblical pattern: covenant, allegiance, deliverance, sacred space, resurrection, new creation, and the victory of God over every rebellious power. Along the way, Carey explains why the Divine Council worldview is often misunderstood, why the story of Scripture cannot be flattened into a simple sin-management system, and why the resurrection must remain central to the meaning of Easter. She also reflects personally on how these patterns helped correct distorted views of God and opened up a deeper understanding of the gospel. This episode touches on biblical theology, the rule of faith, the relationship between Scripture and tradition, critiques of penal substitutionary framing, participation in Christ, Passover, sacred space, liturgy, temple theology, and the cosmic scope of Easter.
