Many translations render Rom. 8:28 as, "all things work together for good." The NLT renders the same words as, "God causes everything to work together," a construal that is represented in some ancient Greek manuscripts. Yet another possibility would be, "the Spirit works all things together." What explains these differences? A past contributor to this podcast, Joseph Dodson is the Dr. Craig L. Blomberg Chair of New Testament at Denver Seminary. In addition to other publications, he has written Paul the Rabbi Philosopher: Stoic and Jewish Philosophy in the Apostle's Thought, and (with Mattie Mae Motl) Conquerors Not Captives: Reframing Romans 7 for the Christian Life. He is working on commentaries on Romans (Brill) and Colossians-Philemon (Holman).
