Summary

In this episode Brent Schmidt and Kerry discuss Brent's research into the real meaning of the Greek words translated as grace and faith. This reveals something different than is usually thought, and will revolutionize the way you understand Paul's passages in all his epistles about them. You will see that grace has to do with covenant, and in many places and ways is similar to hesed. Understanding this will make Paul's writings become more accessible and applicable in your life. This episode will affect the way you read the rest of Paul's epistles.If you would like a free pdf of Brent's book, email Kerry at 01@byu.edu.
