Episode #241 - The Divine Heartset in Philippians with Dr. Crispin Fletcher-Louis

In this episode we're joined by Dr. Crispin Fletcher-Louis, who is a Fellow at the University of Gloucestershire and the author of the book that we’re discussing in this episode, The Divine Heartset: Paul’s Philippians Christ Hymn, Metaphysical Affections, and Civic Virtues (published by Cascade). Over the course of our conversation, we talk about Dr. Fletcher-Louis’s massive volume on the Christ Hymn in Philippians 2, in which he makes several fascinating exegetical decisions rooted in a close reading of the passage and extensive research into Greek texts that have not been as extensively incorporated into the conversation previously. We discuss ancient practices of “bride-napping,” why certain portions of the Hymn are often poorly translated, and the pastoral implications of reading the Hymn the way that Dr. Fletcher-Louis does. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities includes: Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Dr. Madison Pierce, Rev. Dr. Chris Porter, and Dr. Logan Williams.Here is a link to the book’s website for people to purchase digital copies, if desired: www.divineheartset.com Hosted on Acast.
