Summary
David takes today’s episode to develop a historical context for next week’s discussion of neo-Baptist engagement with law and politics. Without this context, the Gnostic nature of that form of engagement will be less clear. David uses the work of 18th-century Scottish theologian, Thomas Boston, and the Apostle Paul's first letter to Timothy to explain the role of law in non-Gnostic terms.

| 1:05.0 | But I thought that explaining the Neobaptists would actually make more sense |
| 1:10.0 | if I took a short detour today, so I hope you'll indulge me. |
| 1:15.0 | To look at First Timothy Chapter 1. |
| 1:20.0 | I'd mention that I would eventually look at Firstst Timothy chapter 1 and I thought I would do it |
| 1:25.9 | After describing the Neobaptists |
| 1:29.7 | But I think it's important to insert it here. I think it will help us better understand the Neobaptists better. |

| 1:50.0 | old hat for you, but it was new for me as of a few years ago but I want to put it in the |
| 1:58.9 | context of a book written by Thomas Boston in early 1700s called the, let me look at the title here, |
| 2:11.0 | human nature in its forefold state. |
