Denver is a missionary, Taylor is a pastor, and Matt is a professor. All of them, however, are passionate about bridging the gap between scholarship and ministry. They want to take the insights gained through academic study of the Bible and bring them directly to the fields of ministry. Sometimes Christians are led to believe they must choose between being a capable scholar and having a fruitful ministry. The Learning Laborers believe that the opposite is true. When brought together in the right way, scholarship enhances ministry and ministry experience also enhances biblical scholarship.

47 - Jesus, the Law, and Restoration with Paul Sloan

Does the Law of Moses still matter for Christians today? Does Jesus expect his followers to obey the Torah?

In this episode of the Learning Laborers, Taylor and Matt sit down with Dr. Paul Sloan - associate professor of Early Christianity at Houston Christian University - to discuss his new book Jesus and the Law of Moses. Together, they discuss how Jesus' ministry expresses Restoration Eschatology and how his teachings about the Torah neither nullify nor abolish it, but rather fulfill and reinterpret it. Specific topics covered include the Sabbath, the eschatological Jubilee, and the continuing importance of the Mosaic Law today. Buckle up learning laborers!
