Interested in questions on Jesus and the Law? One of our own - Paul Sloan - offers a 15 min explanation on why "legalism" and other tropes aren't accurate descriptions of Jesus' interaction with the Pharisees, and he offers an alternative. Check it out.

if you’re interested in about 15 min of why I don’t think “legalism” etc are good categories for describing Jesus’ controversies with the Pharisees (and other “Jesus and the Law” type stuff), here ya go!

[Paul T. Sloan @paulthomasloan]

feels like there's been an uptick in faith/works chatter, so what better time to tune into to our next @HoustonTheoSem Theology Seminar with @juliemleyva, delivering "By Faith Abraham Believed God: Reckoning with Abraham's Faith in Paul, Hebrews, and James."
