Theology for the Church How the Church Fulfills the Mission of Christ with Brian Tabb
How does the "Emmaus Road" narrative reshape our understanding of the entire Bible? In this episode, Caleb sits down with Dr. Brian Tabb, President of Bethlehem College and Seminary, to discuss his book After Emmaus. They explore why the Old Testament is the essential foundation for the Church’s mission and how Jesus’s own hermeneutic should guide our preaching today.
Key topics include:
The Emmaus Framework: How Jesus taught the disciples to read the Law, Prophets, and Psalms.
Biblical Theology: Connecting the dots between ancient scripture and the Great Commission.
Suffering & Glory: Understanding the pattern of Christ’s life as the pattern for the Church.
Practical Ministry: How pastors can move from "text to task" without falling into moralism.
Whether you are a student of theology or a local church leader, this conversation offers a profound look at how the mission of the Church is a direct fulfillment of the scriptural story.
