About this video
Runtime: 14 minsN T Wright discusses Paul and the faithfulness of God. He starts by examining Paul's three worlds: Jewish, Hellenistic, and Roman. As a Jew, he saw himself as a transformed Jew after accepting Jesus as the Messiah and engaged with Hellenistic culture, using its philosophical tools to spread his message, while maintaining his Jewish identity. As a Roman citizen, Paul used his status to navigate and challenge Roman power structures, emphasizing that Jesus, not Caesar, is the true Lord. Paul's theology integrates Jewish monotheism, election, and eschatology, redefined around Jesus and the Holy Spirit, forming a cohesive and comprehensive worldview rooted in his diverse cultural experiences.
