John 15: The Dilemma of an Old Covenant Jew

November 23rd, 2009 Mike No comments

vineI’m off work this week and I’ve had some time to write and catch up on a few things. I’m enjoying re-writing some of my papers from way back when. One of them that I just finished is called, John 15: The Dilemma of an Old Covenant Jew. I thought this paper would be one of the easiest to re-edit, but it turned out to be quite a task. John 15 is that chapter that starts with the allegory of the vine and branches. Several years ago, I became convinced that the more traditional interpretation of that passage (Christian fruit-bearing) isn’t the real focus. If you get a chance, go check it out. It’s a little long, so print out a copy, grab your favorite beverage, and dig in. Let me know what you think!
