EP046 Paul the Lawyer: Romans, Rhetoric, and the Greco‑Roman Diatribe

This episode examines Apostle Paul’s rhetorical method in Romans, focusing on the Greco‑Roman diatribe (thesis, objection, refutation) and his use of reductio ad absurdum to defend the gospel. It explains how Paul anticipates objections and constructs a watertight legal case for salvation by grace through faith. Listeners are given practical takeaways for Christians: learn to anticipate objections, avoid misrepresentation, and articulate the faith clearly and respectfully to strengthen spiritual maturity and effective witness.
