Summary

Dr. Ben Reynolds has an MDiv and ThM from Gordon-Conwell Theological seminary and a Ph.D. in New Testament from Aberdeen University--which is where I met Ben. We both studied together under Simon Gathercole at Aberdeen and have been friends ever since. Ben is currently a professor of Bible and Theology at Tyndale University (Toronto) where he's been since 2009, and he enjoys teaching courses on the Gospels, Jesus, Second Temple Judaism, Greek, and hermeneutics. He's written and edited several scholarly works including his latest book: John Among the Apocalypses: Jewish Apocalyptic Tradition and the "Apocalyptic" Gospel. In this podcast conversation, Ben walks us through some theological themes in the narrative of John's gospel and helps us understand the meaning of Jesus' "Son of Man" language.

0:00.0	Hello, friends. I want to let you know about a couple of events that I'm hosting on the LGBTQ
0:05.0	conversation in Santa Clarita and then again in San Diego in California. The Santa Clarita event
0:11.8	is October 16th and 17th and the San Diego event is October 19th and 20th. These are two
0:21.9	different events. One is an evening conversation where we sort of introduce the LGBTQ conversation
0:27.8	and then the following day in both cities. We do a full day training for church leaders
0:34.3	again on the LGBTQ conversation. We dig into theology, relationships, pastoral ministry questions.
0:40.6	We hear testimonies from various people. It's a time when we can come together and think deeply,
0:47.7	love widely, dig into both truth and grace in what has become some of the most pressing
0:52.6	questions facing the church today. To find out more about these two events, you can go to center
0:57.2	for faith.com. Go to the events link and you can find all the info there. Again, October 16th,
1:03.9	the 17th in Santa Clarita and then the 19th and 20th in San Diego. If you cannot make it out to

1:26.2	the Department of Biblical Studies and Theology at Tindale University in Canada. He received his
1:31.9	PhD from University of Aberdeen in Scotland or I also did my degree. In fact, we became good friends
1:38.8	when we're studying for our PhDs at Aberdeen University. He is a specialist in the gospel of
1:45.7	John specifically the concept of the Son of Man. When Jesus refers to himself as the Son of Man,
1:54.0	it's a huge debate within scholarship. What exactly Jesus is talking about there. So we get into that
1:58.7	a bit towards the end of this podcast, but I ask Ben to come on and just give us a good kind of
2:03.0	theological entry point into John's gospel. That took us into many different passages and themes
2:10.0	and discussions around various things, especially in the early chapters of John. So get your
