Dr. Nijay Gupta (Engaging Scripture Substack)

Evan Wickham writes our latest guest post in the ongoing series: THE ONE TRUE GOSPEL. Brilliant stuff here. This post is dedicated in loving memory to John M. Perkins. open.substack.com/pub/nijaykgupt…

"One of the reasons I love the Bible so much is because it's gritty and real." - Nijay Gupta Author and theologian Nijay Gupta @eng_Scrptr joined us recently to discuss the importance of "Slow Theology." Here, he discusses how the Bible, particularly the poetic sections, doesn't shy away from pain, loss, or suffering. Listen here: ttf.org/events/online-…

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

With Ep96, our Slow Theology Beatitudes series is now complete!

@swhatshanesaid CONGRATS! Good series

@ReligionProf My point is there is no judgment scene where the rich man's sins or failures are made explicit. Compare that with Matt 25 where it is explicit

I am surprised that Nijay Gupta says we don't know why the rich man in the parable ended up suffering in Hades. The statement by Abraham that this was a reversal of the situations in life of that man and Lazarus. nijaykgupta.substack.com/p/the-foolish-…
